Add convenience wrappers for http.Get/Post, etc.

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -26,6 +26,10 @@ This project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.htm
 - Remove `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk` dependency from instrumentation. (#381)
 - Use `httpsnoop` in `go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/github.com/gorilla/mux/otelmux` to ensure `http.ResponseWriter` additional interfaces are preserved. (#388)
 
+### Added
+
+- `otelhttp.{Get,Head,Post,PostForm}` convenience wrappers for their `http` counterparts. (#390)
+
 ### Fixed
 
 - The `go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/github.com/labstack/echo/otelecho.Middleware` no longer sends duplicate errors to the global `ErrorHandler`. (#377, #364)
