Tracestate header not generated or mutated #1271
Description
What version of OpenCensus are you using?
v0.22.3
What version of Go are you using?
1.16
What did you do?
Configured opencensus-go with W3C tracecontext propagation and created a new span with StartSpanWithRemoteParent().
What did you expect to see?
A traceparent header should be generated (or mutated if one already existed)
A tracestate header should be generated (or mutated if one already existed)
What did you see instead?
A traceparent header is generated, containing the trace ID and a new span ID,
but the tracestate header is just passed through 1:1 or not generated at all if it wasn't part of the incoming request.
Additional context
While this doesn't go against the W3C spec, a tracestate should be generated/mutated.
Also, I don't see the functionality in the library to manually do this since the whole generation/mutation process is somewhat hidden to the caller (but maybe I'm missing something here). If that's possible already, a pointer to how this is supposed to be used would be greatly appreciated.
