What Does This Do
Adds a simple span instrumentation for Renaissance benchmarks
Motivation
Renaissance bechmarks are a good way to fully saturate a JVM with concurrent work - that way creating the opportunity for profiling the tracer and its extensions (in my case the new span activation intervals functionality) under extreme load.
Unfortunately, there are no 'entry' points in the benchmarks and as such the root span is not created and the whole tracer functionality is skipped. With this simple instrumentation each single benchmark run will have its own root span.
Additional Notes
There are no tests included - I was not able to find a renaissance benchmark artifact in the maven central and I would argue that the implementation itself is extremely simple and missing tests are not a hindrance.
