Google Tag Manager Tracking for Contact Form 7

Plugin supports the latest Google Analytics tracking code called “Global Site Tag” added via the Google Tag Manager or gtag.js which usually look like this:

<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=GA_TRACKING_ID"></script>
<script>
  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
  gtag('js', new Date());
  gtag('config', 'GA_TRACKING_ID');
</script>

The plugin sends custom tracking events when a form submission is submitted, sent, failed to send or is considered spam.
