* Allow specifying custom timestamps for events
Adding event with timestamp is not yet a part of the OpenTelemetry
specification, but this function will come in handy when implementing
the OpenTracing bridge.
* Add opentracing bridge, wrapper tracer and migration interfaces
There are some features missing - setting up links and span kind;
context propagation will only work between two OpenTracing bridges.
* Add some tests for the opentracing bridge
The tests mostly check various aspects of the cooperation between
OpenTracing and OpenTelemetry APIs.
This is to shrink the PR #100.
The only place where the registry.Variable type was used was metrics,
so just inline that type into its only user. The use of the
registry.Variable type in core.Key was limited to the Name field.
The stats package also used the registry.Variable type, but seems that
also only the Name field was used and the package is going to be
dropped anyway.
* Merge two event methods in span API
There was an agreement to get rid of the Event interface and
consolidate the two methods for adding events into one. See #57.
* Eliminate the use of the Event interface
There is no need for the SDK to provide the implementation of the
Event interface - it is used nowhere.
* Drop the Event interface
It's dead code now.
* Make it possible to override a finish timestamp through options
Opentracing to opentelemetry bridge will certainly use this feature.
* Obey the start time option
* Add tests for events and custom start/end times
* trace sdk initial commit.
