TestTraces is designed to test whether our Open Telemetry tracing system is working: that spans are being output, that they have the appropriate parents, etc. It should not be testing whether Boulder took a specific path through its code -- that's the domain of package-specific unit tests. Simplify TestTraces to the point that it is asserting (nearly) the bare minimum about the set of operations Boulder performs.
