feat: automate AppSec enablement setup (e.g: AWS_LAMBDA_RUNTIME_API) (

#143)

* feat: honor AWS_LAMBDA_EXEC_WRAPPER when AWS Lambda does not

In order to simplify onboarding & make it more uniform across languages,
inspect the value of the `AWS_LAMBDA_EXEC_WRAPPER` environment variable
and apply select environment variable changes it perofrms upon
decorating a handler.

This is necessary/useful because that environment variable is not
honored by custom runtimes (`provided`, `provided.al2`) as well as the
`go1.x` runtime (which is a glorified provided runtime). The datadog
Lambda wrapper starts a proxy to inject ASM functionality directly on
the Lambda runtime API instead of having to manually instrument each and
every lambda handler/application, and modifies `AWS_LAMBDA_RUNTIME_API`
to instruct Lambda language runtime client libraries to go through it
instead of directly interacting with the Lambda control plane.

APPSEC-11534

* pivot to a different, cheaper strategy

* typo fix

* PR feedback

* minor fixups

* add warning in go1.x runtime if lambda.norpc build tag was not enabled
