Telemetry handler that creates Opentelemetry spans from cowboy events.

After installing, setup the handler in your application behaviour before your
top-level supervisor starts.

```erlang
opentelemetry_cowboy:setup()
```

There is no additional prerequisite setup for [plug_cowboy](https://hex.pm/packages/plug_cowboy) users.
