Make OSProfiler compatible with OpenTracing API

Registered by Tovin Seven

OSprofiler [1] has the same concept with Google Dapper [2], Zipkin [3].
OSprofiler traces can be retrieved as json, dot graph, html output. However, it lacks of UI, sampling rate, instruments, etc.

Making OSprofiler compatible with OpenTracing API [4,5,6] has some great advantages:
- Standardize data structure/model with OpenTracing API
- Store trace in various back-end
- Show traces in various UIs: Jaeger, Zipkin, LightStep, Appdash, Hawkular, etc.
- Use query model of other tracers
- Implement sampling rate and supported from other tracers

Whiteboard

TODO(tovin07): Find the way to change span_id from outside tracer.start_span (or start_manual_span, start_active_span)

NOTE(tovin07): Override Jaeger span id with id from OSprofiler. Jaeger, lighstep, basic tracer and some other tracers generate new id for span inside tracer.start_span method.

TODO(tovin07): tracer inject/extract should call inject/extract from opentracing API in the future, after we replace current inject/extract mechanism with mechanism from OpenTracing API
