The trail package is the only reason that grpc-go was a dependency of trace. grpc-go is quite a heavy dependency and can cause problems for downstream consumers which don't make use of trail, see https://github.com/vulcand/predicate/blob/master/go.mod#L5-L8. By moving trail from gravitational/trace to gravitational/teleport/api the functionality will still be available in a consumable module while drastically reducing the functionality and size of trace. Since api already depends on grpc-go the move should not impact the dependency tree there any. From an audit of all non-teleport forks/mirrors on GitHub I could not find any direct dependents of trace that actually made use of trail. So while removing the package is a breaking change the impact should be minimal for the community at large.

Pulling in the trail package directly in api will allow the trace module to shed the grpc-go dependency. This needs to land prior to gravitational/trace#112 being included in a new version of trace. There should be no noticable change in the api depdency tree since it already depends on grpc-go. Some additional items from the trace/internal package were also vendored within trail as needed. Additionally, some of the public api of trail that was not being consumed has been made private.

This accompanied by gravitational/teleport#51032 and https://github.com/gravitational/teleport.e/pull/5843 should allow trail to be removed without breaking gravitational/teleport. |
