Description
This PR removes open telemetry based tracing from the whole mining workflow. The tracing extended into consensus and core blockchain functions from miner is also removed in this PR. We weren't checking the tracing from a long time and the way it was implemented increased the code complexity a lot. As a replacement to get observability in mining, we can add more logs and metrics as a separate task.
For mining related e2e tests, some functions were also modified in
miner/test_backend.go
to introduce artificial delays. The code was out of sync. This PR also brings it in sync with originalminer/worker.go
methods.Changes
