This change is a fairly straightforward refactor to extract the tracing
and correlation-id code from the gitlab rails codebase into the new
LabKit-Ruby project.
The corresponding import into LabKit-Ruby was in
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/labkit-ruby/merge_requests/1
The code itself remains very similar for now.
Extracting it allows us to reuse it in other projects, such as
Gitaly-Ruby. This will give us the advantages of correlation-ids and
distributed tracing in that project too.
The Correlation ID is taken or generated from received X-Request-ID.
Then it is being passed to all executed services (sidekiq workers
or gitaly calls).
The Correlation ID is logged in all structured logs as `correlation_id`.
