Version 8.16.0

New features and improvements

• Obfuscate JVM properties by @kanderson250 in 2114
  The Java agent will now obfuscate values passed to JVM properties. For example: -Dprop=12345 will now be sent as -Dprop=obfuscated. The documentation has information on how to disable obfuscation and how to add exceptions.

• Cloud API by @meiao in 2081
  The Cloud API allows cloud provider account information to be provided to the agent. This will allow the agent to populate the cloud.resource_id attribute in calls to select cloud services.
  The API documentation has information on how to use it programmatically.
  This information can also be provided using a configuration option.
