This change removes the OpenTelemetry integration from the OpenDC
Compute modules. Previously, we chose to integrate OpenTelemetry to
provide a unified way to report metrics to the users.
Although this worked as expected, the overhead of the OpenTelemetry when
collecting metrics during simulation was considerable and lacked more
optimization opportunities (other than providing a separate API
implementation). Furthermore, since we were tied to OpenTelemetry's SDK
implementation, we experienced issues with throttling and registering
multiple instruments.
We will instead use another approach, where we expose the core metrics
in OpenDC via specialized interfaces (see the commits before) such that
access is fast and can be done without having to interface with
OpenTelemetry. In addition, we will provide an adapter to that is able
to forward these metrics to OpenTelemetry implementations, so we can
still integrate with the wider ecosystem.
