## Propagator
Feature flag `propagator` will enable the `GoogleTraceContextPropagator` which implements the `TextMapPropagator` trait for Google `X-Cloud-Trace-Context` Trace Context format.
Example usage:
```rust
opentelemetry::global::set_text_map_propagator(GoogleTraceContextPropagator::new());
```
