Introduce Telemetry Schemas (open-telemetry#152)
Resolves open-telemetry#1324 I believe changes to semantic conventions and the shape of emitted telemetry are likely to occur during the lifetime of an instrumentation library. I do not think we should aim to lock the telemetry schema and disallow changes to it. Such locking would place a huge limitation on how instrumentation can evolve and would make it nearly impossible to fix mistakes in the semantic conventions, in the schema or in the implementation of the instrumentation (which will inevitably happen sooner or later). This OTEP introduces the concept of telemetry schemas that allows semantic conventions and instrumentations to evolve over time without breaking consumers of telemetry.
