I would like to run the APM integration with a standalone Celery setup, is it currently possible to do that?

Hi @mashhoodr

sorry for the long wait, completely missed this message. It should be relatively straight forward to use Elastic APM with a standalone celery setup. Something like this should work

```
from elasticapm import Client, instrument
from elasticapm.contrib.celery import register_exception_tracking, register_instrumentation

instrument()
apm_client = Client(server_url="http://localhost:8200") # adapt settings as needed
register_exception_tracking(apm_client)
register_instrumentation(apm_client)
```
