Document how service names are chosen in the trace summary screen
We have unit tests, etc, and generally most zipkin instrumentation logs zipkin annotations.
However, we occasionally get questions by folks who aren't logging zipkin annotations, or are otherwise curious about why a service name is chosen. By documenting the algorithm, we can help them find bugs or constraints that could lead to a better understanding or experience.
