Support for fasthttp

[fpruitt2]

Background

fasthttp is an alternative to Go's native net/http network library. It is written to be significantly more performant at scale; in some cases, it is ~10x faster than the standard library. It is used widely and is well-maintained.

The Ask

It would be helpful if aws-xray-sdk-go could work out-of-the-box with fasthttp. The interface in the request handlers is different enough to make it not trivial to use as-is.

@fpruitt2 We appreciate your input and will consider adding it to our roadmap.

[fpruitt2]

An acceptable alternative would be decoupling the tracking of a request's data from a specific http library-- being able to (easily) manually set up request tracking would be great!

@fpruitt2 We would be happy to review any PRs if you want to contribute on this.
