Upgrading from TraceView

There are three major changes:

  1. The gem is now called appoptics_apm, please make changes accordingly.
  2. The Service Key (API Token) is now configured as an environment variable APPOPTICS_SERVICE_KEY, and not read from a config file anymore.
  3. The class name for the API methods has changed from TraceView::API to AppOpticsAPM::SDK. The SDK methods have been reduced to the methods documented here. Use of log_* methods is discouraged because they can lead to broken traces, but they are still available as AppOpticsAPM::API.log_* methods.
