Description
Phoenix and Phoenix LiveView ship with telemetry events that could be use to capture page_view and other types of events.
It would be great if Posthog had a simple integration where auser could easily generate page_view events server side. In order to provide the distinct user ID and other information, the user would need to provide some MFA callback that allows them to specify this data.
Additionally, this system should offload events to some process, which could then send events to Posthog in batches, outside of the critical path (See #31 for additional conversation here)

Research direction
Start with the Phoenix and Phoenix LiveView telemetry documentation linked in the issue, then read the related discussion in issue #31 about offloading events. Done means the integration can capture server-side page_view and other telemetry events, accept user data through an MFA callback, and send events in batches outside the critical path.
