Subject: Make opentracing trace into event persistence (#10134)

* Trace event persistence

When we persist a batch of events, set the parent opentracing span to the that
from the request, so that we can trace all the way in.

* changelog

* When we force tracing, set a baggage item

... so that we can check again later.

* Link in both directions between persist_events spans
