Version 0.5.0

This release is based on OpenTelemetry Java Instrumentation 2.3.0-alpha and the OpenTelemetry Java Core (sdk/api/exporters) 1.37.0.

Note that many artifacts have the -alpha suffix attached to their version number, reflecting that they are still alpha quality and will continue to have breaking changes. Please see the VERSIONING.md for more details.

⚠️⚠️⚠️ There are considerable breaking changes in this release.

Breaking changes include considerable restructuring of the overall project layout. This provides a much more modularized project that publishes more granular instrumentation modules. Note that as a result of this, the topmost dependency is changing its name to io.opentelemetry.android:android-agent.
