OpenTracing shim allows existing OpenTracing instrumentation to report to OpenTelemetry

Note: Baggage is currently not propagated, see [issues/329](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-js/issues/329).

## Installation

```bash
npm install --save @opentelemetry/shim-opentracing
```

## Usage

Use the TracerShim wherever you initialize your OpenTracing tracers.

```javascript
const opentracing = require('opentracing');

// Old tracer initialization.
const tracer = myOpenTracingTracer(...);
opentracing.initGlobalTracer(tracer);

// New tracer initialization.
import { TracerShim } from '@opentelemetry/shim-opentracing';

const tracer = myOpenTelemetryTracer(...)
opentracing.initGlobalTracer(new TracerShim(tracer));

```
