see #106

Someone from our tech writing team should have a look at this PR since it involves changes to the README file. I am figuring out who that person will be.

It seems you are removing all the SDK examples from the readme documentation. I believe this is the direction we want to go, but I don't remember seeing example code in your other PR for histograms for instance.

Thanks Travis - yep, this PR removes the examples from the README. It looks like I did convert all of the readme examples into godoc examples, so spans, histograms, metrics, and delta counters are all included in the test file added by this PR.

Hi Team,

Question: Why are we removing the section on how to send data and configure. (how will a user know how to do these. Can we document the content so it's clear to users) :)

Hi shavidissa, we are planning to move all the example code over to pkg.go.dev and add a link to pkg.go.dev from the readme. For you to see the changes on pkg.go.dev, we'd have to do a release, but if you download the godoc tool on your machine and checkout this PR, you can get a fairly accurate preview of what the page on pkg.go.dev will look like. I can show you how to do this if you'd like.

thanks @shavidissa!

@keep94 I also created #118 as a place to discuss whether we can make the RELEASING.md steps easier.

@keep94 do you think we're ok to merge this PR now? I think all the review comments are resolved
