grpc-trace-bin header support

[xd009642]

As well as traceparent for context propagation there's also grpc-trace-bin and x-cloud-trace-context, my current work system is using grpc-trace-bin so it would be nice if it was as easy to propagate the traces as it was with traceparent or the b3 headers

The spec discussion for this is currently happening in open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification#639

There's no reason this could not be implemented as an extension crate, it doesn't need to be built into the rust sdk/api.

So i think while this would provide some compatibility with open census, this doesn't seem like it will be in the root. We split the repos recently. I think we can transfer this to the contrib repo. Spec https://graphql-faas.github.io/opencensus-specs/trace/gRPC.html if anyone wants to implement.

Hi @xd009642 @hdost Is this being actively worked on at the moment please?

[xd009642]

No, but I'm also not sure if it's relevant anymore? It might have gotten in elsewhere and this issue just not been cleaned up

[RichardChukwu]

Ok. How do we confirm that?
