Provide easy way to install relevant instrumentation

[codeboten]

It would be convenient for users to be able to install instrumenting libraries which are relevant to them. This would simplify the initial experience with OpenTelemetry. Added PR #605 request with one option to install all existing instrumentation. The ruby SIG solves this problem in a similar fashion to that PR open-telemetry/opentelemetry-ruby#223

SignalFx Python instrumentation library ships with a bootstrap command that detects installed libraries and installs instrumentation packages for them. The workflow look roughly like the following:

pip install signalfx-tracing
sfx-py-trace-bootstrap

I think a command like this would be very useful. SignalFx version automatically installs the packages but I'd probably make it spit out new requirements instead by default. It could have flags to let users choose whether they want it to auto-install packages, just print them to console or directly modify a requirements.txt file.
