Add a new (optional) flag to tracepusher that allows a user to specify a span kind
If not specified, tracepusher will be backwards compatible and default to the existing behaviour (SPAN_KIND_INTERNAL)
Expected valid values for this new flag will be:
UNSPECIFIED tracepusher will follow guidance and transform this to INTERNAL
INTERNAL (default)
SERVER
CLIENT
PRODUCER
CONSUMER
These values can be provided by the end-user in any cApITalisatION form.
The code should uppercase the input then append to SPAN_KIND so an input of CLiENT would become SPAN_KIND_CLIENT.
If anything other than the values above are provided, an error is to be thrown and the trace will not be sent.
