Consider support of CloudEvents standard

[alexander-yevsyukov]

This InfoQ article mentions the CloudEvents standard as a nice feature of 2nd version of GCP Cloud Functions.

We may review the CloudEvents specs to see if our Protobuf types related to events have enough data to support the specs.

Then we may provide the support for the standard so that Spine-based systems can be integrated easier.

@xSAVIKx, FYI ;)

That's the right direction 🙂

You may wanna jump into the cloudevents SDK maintainers for the Java implementation.

And I may help with Python if ever needed. I am one of the Python SDK maintainers now.

Also, CloudEvents are supported by gen 1 of Cloud Functions AFAIK.

And you may consider using CloudEvents just as a transport layer and wrap Spine events data with CloudEvents structure

@xSAVIKx, we're short of hands now, and need to release v2.0 first. But thanks for the invitation!
