  Description     : C wrapper for the C++ impl of the OpenTracing API

OpenTracing C Wrapper library was created due to the need to use distributed
tracing within C programs.

The OpenTracing project (https://opentracing.io/) has published a
C-language implementation on https://github.com/opentracing/opentracing-c
but that implementation is incomplete, with the last update on Jun
27th 2018

This library takes inspiration from the header files in that project but
implements the proposed functionality fully by wrapping the functional
C++ library.

This is a dependency of building haproxy with opentracing support.
