Support manual instrumentation #63

Open

Description

@einepeople

Support registering Beyla as global tracer provider, so that it can support manual instrumentation and link manually created spans with auto-generated traces.
Such functionality exists in opentelemetry-go-instrumentation since late 2023.

Without manual spans support every user request generates two completely disconnected traces - one with manually defined (e.g. business logic oriented) spans, and one with auto-generated spans (which only describes app's external communication).

Reference:

P.S. there is a similar issue opened for grafana/beyla. I heard the community should now contribute to this repo and not to the beyla. If that's not the case and this is a duplicate issue, feel free to close it.
