## Problem
We want to switch proxy and ideally all Rust services to structured JSON
logging to support better filtering and cross-referencing with tracing.
## Summary of changes
* Introduce a custom tracing-subscriber to write the JSON. In a first
attempt a customized tracing::fmt::FmtSubscriber was used, but it's very
inefficient and can still generate invalid JSON. It's also doesn't allow
us to add important fields to the root object.
* Make this opt in: the `LOGFMT` env var can be set to `"json"` to
enable to new logger at startup.
As the title says, I updated the lint rules to no longer allow unwrap or
unimplemented.
Three special cases:
* Tests are allowed to use them
* std::sync::Mutex lock().unwrap() is common because it's usually
correct to continue panicking on poison
* `tokio::spawn_blocking(...).await.unwrap()` is common because it will
only error if the blocking fn panics, so continuing the panic is also
correct
I've introduced two extension traits to help with these last two, that
are a bit more explicit so they don't need an expect message every time.
1. Adds local-proxy to compute image and vm spec
2. Updates local-proxy config processing, writing PID to a file eagerly
3. Updates compute-ctl to understand local proxy compute spec and to
send SIGHUP to local-proxy over that pid.

* tracing-utils now returns a `Layer` impl. Removes the need for crates
to
import OTel crates.
* Drop the /v1/traces URI check. Verified that the code does the right
thing.
* Leave a TODO to hook in an error handler for OTel to log errors to
when it
assumes the regular pipeline cannot be used/is broken.
Allure does not support ansi colored logs, yet `compute_ctl` has them.
Upgrade criterion to get rid of atty dependency, disable ansi colors,
remove atty dependency and disable ansi feature of tracing-subscriber.
This is a heavy-handed approach. I am not aware of a workflow where
you'd want to connect a terminal directly to for example `compute_ctl`,
usually you find the logs in a file. If someone had been using colors,
they will now need to:
- turn the `tracing-subscriber.default-features` to `true`
- edit their wanted project to have colors
I decided to explicitly disable ansi colors in case we would have in
future a dependency accidentally enabling the feature on
`tracing-subscriber`, which would be quite surprising but not
unimagineable.
By getting rid of `atty` from dependencies we get rid of
<https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-g98v-hv3f-hcfr>.
On the surface, this doesn't add much, but there are some benefits:
* We can do graceful shutdowns and thus record more code coverage data.
* We now have a foundation for the more interesting behaviors, e.g. "stop
accepting new connections after SIGTERM but keep serving the existing ones".
* We give the otel machinery a chance to flush trace events before
finally shutting down.
This commit sets up OpenTelemetry tracing and exporter, so that they
can be exported as OpenTelemetry traces as well.
All outgoing HTTP requests will be traced. A separate (child)
span is created for each outgoing HTTP request, and the tracing
context is also propagated to the server in the HTTP headers.
If tracing is enabled in the control plane and compute node too, you
can now get an end-to-end distributed trace of what happens when a new
connection is established, starting from the handshake with the
client, creating the 'start_compute' operation in the control plane,
starting the compute node, all the way to down to fetching the base
backup and the availability checks in compute_ctl.
