Create a Splunk APM Integration

We need to provide to ThousandEyes the Splunk Observabiltiy APM url and token to be able to get the traces and represent it as a Service Map. We will be using the credentials from the Splunk Observability owned by ThousandEyes, as the traces will be coming from the OpenTelemetry demo application running in the cloud.
