Rename the exporter directory to exporters (#502)
The `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporter/trace/jaeger` package was
mistakenly released with a `v1.0.0` tag instead of `v0.1.0`. This
resulted in all subsequent releases not becoming the default latest,
meaning that `go get`s pulled in the incompatible `v0.1.0` release of
that package when pulling in more recent packages from other otel
packages. Renaming the `exporter` directory to `exporters` fixes this
issue by consequentially renaming the package.

Additionally, this action also renames *all* exporters. This is
understood to be a disruptive action to existing users as they will need
to update any dependencies they currently have on our exporters.
However, it was decided to take this action regardless. The need to
resolve the existing issue explained above is highly important, and
given the Alpha state of this project these kinds of breaking changes
should be expected (though not without reason).

Resolves #331

The Go [OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/) client.
## Installation
This repository includes multiple packages. The `api`
package contains core data types, interfaces and no-op implementations that comprise the OpenTelemetry API following
[the
specification](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification).
The `sdk` package is the reference implementation of the API.
Libraries that produce telemetry data should only depend on `api`
and defer the choice of the SDK to the application developer. Applications may
depend on `sdk` or another package that implements the API.
To install the API and SDK packages,
```
$ go get -u go.opentelemetry.io/otel
```
## Quick Start
```go
package main
import (
"context"
"log"
"go.opentelemetry.io/otel/api/global"
"go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/trace/stdout"
sdktrace "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace"
)
func initTracer() {
exporter, err := stdout.NewExporter(stdout.Options{PrettyPrint: true})
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
tp, err := sdktrace.NewProvider(sdktrace.WithConfig(sdktrace.Config{DefaultSampler: sdktrace.AlwaysSample()}),
sdktrace.WithSyncer(exporter))
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
global.SetTraceProvider(tp)
}
func main() {
initTracer()
tracer := global.TraceProvider().Tracer("ex.com/basic")
tracer.WithSpan(context.Background(), "foo",
func(ctx context.Context) error {
tracer.WithSpan(ctx, "bar",
func(ctx context.Context) error {
tracer.WithSpan(ctx, "baz",
func(ctx context.Context) error {
return nil
},
)
return nil
},
)
return nil
},
)
}
```

documentation](https://godoc.org/go.opentelemetry.io/otel) for more
detail, and the
[opentelemetry-example-app](./example/README.md)
for a complete example.
## Compatible Exporters
See the Go packages depending upon
[sdk/export/trace](https://pkg.go.dev/go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/export/trace?tab=importedby)
and [sdk/export/metric](https://pkg.go.dev/go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/export/metric?tab=importedby)
for a list of all exporters compatible with OpenTelemetry's Go SDK.

## Release Schedule
OpenTelemetry Go is under active development. Below is the release schedule
for the Go library. The first version of the release isn't guaranteed to conform
to a specific version of the specification, and future releases will not
attempt to maintain backward compatibility with the alpha release.
