feat: add basic gateway tracing (#8595)
* add deprecation warning when tracer plugins are loaded
* add response format attribute to span in gateway handler
* add note about tracing's experimental status in godoc
* add nil check for TTL when adding name span attrs
* add basic sharness test for integration with otel collector
* add nil check in UnixFSAPI.processLink
* test: sharness check all json objs for swarm span
* add env var docs to docs/environment-variables.md
* chore: pin the otel collector version
* add tracing spans per response type (#8841)
* docs: tracing with jaeger-ui

# go-ipfs environment variables
## `LIBP2P_TCP_REUSEPORT`
go-ipfs tries to reuse the same source port for all connections to improve NAT
traversal. If this is an issue, you can disable it by setting
`LIBP2P_TCP_REUSEPORT` to false.
Default: true
## `IPFS_PATH`
Sets the location of the IPFS repo (where the config, blocks, etc.
are stored).
Default: ~/.ipfs
## `IPFS_LOGGING`
Sets the log level for go-ipfs. It can be set to one of:
* `CRITICAL`
* `ERROR`
* `WARNING`
* `NOTICE`
* `INFO`
* `DEBUG`
Logging can also be configured (on a subsystem by subsystem basis) at runtime
with the `ipfs log` command.
Default: `ERROR`
## `IPFS_LOGGING_FMT`
Sets the log message format. Can be one of:
* `color`
* `nocolor`
Default: `color`
## `GOLOG_FILE`
Sets the file to which go-ipfs logs. By default, go-ipfs logs to standard error.
## `GOLOG_TRACING_FILE`
Sets the file to which go-ipfs sends tracing events. By default, tracing is
disabled.
This log can be read at runtime (without writing it to a file) using the `ipfs
log tail` command.
Warning: Enabling tracing will likely affect performance.
## `IPFS_FUSE_DEBUG`
Enables fuse debug logging.
Default: false
## `YAMUX_DEBUG`
Enables debug logging for the yamux stream muxer.
Default: false
## `IPFS_FD_MAX`
Sets the file descriptor limit for go-ipfs. If go-ipfs fails to set the file
descriptor limit, it will log an error.
Defaults: 2048
## `IPFS_DIST_PATH`
IPFS Content Path from which go-ipfs fetches repo migrations (when the daemon
is launched with the `--migrate` flag).
Default: `/ipfs/<cid>` (the exact path is hardcoded in
`migrations.CurrentIpfsDist`, depends on the IPFS version)
## `IPFS_NS_MAP`
Adds static namesys records for deterministic tests and debugging.
Useful for testing things like DNSLink without real DNS lookup.
Example:
```console
$ IPFS_NS_MAP="dnslink-test1.example.com:/ipfs/bafkreicysg23kiwv34eg2d7qweipxwosdo2py4ldv42nbauguluen5v6am,dnslink-test2.example.com:/ipns/dnslink-test1.example.com" ipfs daemon
...
$ ipfs resolve -r /ipns/dnslink-test2.example.com
/ipfs/bafkreicysg23kiwv34eg2d7qweipxwosdo2py4ldv42nbauguluen5v6am
```
## `LIBP2P_MUX_PREFS`
Deprecated: Use the `Swarm.Transports.Multiplexers` config field.
Tells go-ipfs which multiplexers to use in which order.
Default: "/yamux/1.0.0 /mplex/6.7.0"
# Tracing
**NOTE** Tracing support is experimental--releases may contain tracing-related breaking changes.
## `IPFS_TRACING`
Enables OpenTelemetry tracing.
Default: false
## `IPFS_TRACING_JAEGER`
Enables the Jaeger exporter for OpenTelemetry.
For additional Jaeger exporter configuration, see: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/main/specification/sdk-environment-variables.md#jaeger-exporter
Default: false
### How to use Jaeger UI
One can use the `jaegertracing/all-in-one` Docker image to run a full Jaeger
stack and configure go-ipfs to publish traces to it (here, in an ephemeral
container):
```console
$ docker run --rm -it --name jaeger \
-e COLLECTOR_ZIPKIN_HOST_PORT=:9411 \
-p 5775:5775/udp \
-p 6831:6831/udp \
-p 6832:6832/udp \
-p 5778:5778 \
-p 16686:16686 \
-p 14268:14268 \
-p 14250:14250 \
-p 9411:9411 \
jaegertracing/all-in-one
```
Then, in other terminal, start go-ipfs with Jaeger tracing enabled:
```
$ IPFS_TRACING=1 IPFS_TRACING_JAEGER=1 ipfs daemon
```
Finally, the [Jaeger UI](https://github.com/jaegertracing/jaeger-ui#readme) is available at http://localhost:16686
## `IPFS_TRACING_OTLP_HTTP`
Enables the OTLP HTTP exporter for OpenTelemetry.
For additional exporter configuration, see: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/main/specification/protocol/exporter.md
Default: false
## `IPFS_TRACING_OTLP_GRPC`
Enables the OTLP gRPC exporter for OpenTelemetry.
For additional exporter configuration, see: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/main/specification/protocol/exporter.md
Default: false
## `IPFS_TRACING_FILE`
Enables the file exporter for OpenTelemetry, writing traces to the given file in JSON format.
Example: "/var/log/ipfs-traces.json"
Default: "" (disabled)
## `IPFS_TRACING_RATIO`
The ratio of traces to export, as a floating point value in the interval [0, 1].
Deault: 1.0 (export all traces)
