We don't need to push to make the gem ready/release, but the script file need to get some review first. |

Description
This PR aims to contribute a script/gem that can load the necessary OpenTelemetry-related gems and initialize the SDK for the opentelemetry-operator. The script/gem also includes a resource detector as part of its features.
The main idea was inspired by new_relic, which prepends the bundler.require function and places the loading script at the end of the loading procedure. For apps or scripts that don't use Bundler or a Gemfile, more details on variations of app loading can be found in the README. Currently, the goal is to ensure that Rails apps can work, with future improvements in mind.
The reason behind creating this gem is to facilitate easy installation and dependency enforcement. Although for the OpenTelemetry-Operator Node.js, it puts the loading script directly in the src folder (and then copy over to binding volume), it still relies on the auto-instrumentation-node package to install all required packages (e.g., API/SDK and instrumentation packages).
The main purpose of the gem is to serve the OpenTelemetry-Operator, which requires more configuration changes (see the configuration section in the README). Users don't need to modify their Ruby app codebase while using the instrumentation from OpenTelemetry-Ruby, but anyone can still use it in any environment.
The gem name, file structure, and implementation need more suggestions to make them more reasonable. I have tested it with rails and sinatra (through rackup), and I currently still in the process of testing against the opentelemetry operator cluster locally. Once the operator testing done, I will mark the pr as ready.
