This commit introduces a plugin (named) export from the apollo-tracing package, which uses the new "plugin" hooks rather than the previous implementation (exported as TracingExtension) which uses the soon-to-be-deprecated "extensions" hooks. The functionality is intended to be identical, in spirit.

Since the delta of the commits was otherwise confusing, I've left the TracingExtension present and exported and will remove it in a subsequent commit.

Briefly summarizing what the necessary changes were:

  1. We no longer use a class instance to house the extension, which was necessitated by the graphql-extensions API. This means that uses of this have been replaced with function scoped variables by the same name.
  2. The logic which actually does the formatting (previously handled by the format method in graphql-extension, now takes place within the plugin API's willSendResponse method.

Finally, this removes the rendered-unused/unnecessary TracingExtension extension after providing its replacement.

…se it.

This commit introduces a `plugin` (named) export from the `apollo-tracing`
package, which uses the new "plugin" hooks rather than the previous
implementation (exported as `TracingExtension`) which uses the
soon-to-be-deprecated "extensions" hooks.  The functionality is intended to
be identical, in spirit.

Since the delta of the commits was otherwise confusing, I've left the
`TracingExtension` present and exported and will remove it in a subsequent
commit.

Briefly summarizing what the necessary changes were:

1. We no longer use a class instance to house the extension, which was
   necessitated by the `graphql-extensions` API.  This means that uses of
   `this` have been replaced with function scoped variables by the same name.
2. The logic which actually does the formatting (previously handled by the
   `format` method in `graphql-extension`, now takes place within the plugin
   API's `willSendResponse` method.
This follows-up 672fa09 and removes the no-longer used/necessary
`TracingExtension` extension which uses the soon-to-be-deprecated
`graphql-extensions` API, now that it has been replaced with an
implementation that uses the plugin API.

This package should never have already set it itself prior to this point,
but the circumstance exists that something (anything) else could have
already used the `extensions` sink to attach a value.

This guards against that.

Inspired by landing some PRs separately and a merge commit that could have
been avoided, but also inspired by the following comment
by @trevor-scheer  whicih made it clear my organization was just a _bit_
off.

…ns".

Similar to 6009d8a (#3991) and 68cbc93 (#3997), which migrated the
tracing and cache-control extensions to the (newer) request pipeline plugin
API, this commit introduces:

 - Internally, a `plugin` named export which is utilized by the `agent`'s
   `newExtension` method to provide a plugin which is instrumented to
   transmit metrics to Apollo Graph Manager.  This plugin is meant to
   replicate the behavior of the `EngineReportingExtension` class which,
   as of this commit, still lives besides it.
 - Externally, a `federatedPlugin` exported on the main module of the
   `apollo-engine-reporting` package.  This plugin is meant to replicate the
   behavior of the `EngineFederatedTracingExtension` class (also exported on
   the main module) which, again as of this commit, still lives besides it!

Again, the delta of the commits seemed more confusing by allowing a natural
`diff` to be made of it, I've left the extensions in place so they can be
compared - presumably side-by-side in an editor - on the same commit.  An
(immediate) subsequent commit will remove the extension.

While this work (whose review I'll leave up to @trevor-scheer) is worthwhile, can you while you're at it (and as part of describing it in CHANGELOG) update its description/docs to make it clear that it's more or less deprecated? My understanding is that the primary use case of apollo-tracing was for AGM but that only worked via engineproxy; the README does not make it clear that that's a highly deprecated use case. I think there's also some graphql-playground support for it too. I think users get confused a lot into thinking this package (and its enabling flag) has anything to do with modern AGM reporting, but it doesn't.

This reverts the public messaging about `tracing` deprecation in commit
98bae44, for now, until we can discuss its
fate a bit more, and how we intend on making up for that.

I have reverted (ef4ed58) the comment I added to the CHANGELOG.md (98bae44) in response to @glasser's #3991 (comment) about more or less deprecation of this concept since it is, in fact, still very much more or less.

While I agree with us framing it appropriately and clearly, let's do that ASAP outside the scope of this PR.
