Description
This takes a different approach to tracing. Instead of instrumenting the user facing API, we instrument the backend helper functions so we can see what data is being submitted to the backend itself.
This is better for debugging issues with the backend, such as tokenizer template issues and means all the APIs which use the helper functions are covered.
I decided not to instrument gRPC because we loose some information that is available in the helpers. Eventually we can join the API tracing with the backend tracing so that they are linked.
