Relates aws/aws-sdk-go-v2#3197
This removes the outer "Initialize" and "BuildRequest" trace spans from operations. As implemented, these trace spans are instantiated by inserting 4 additional middlewares, which is expensive considering the traces add literally no useful information (they have no novel attributes etc.).
This cuts out another ~5m allocations in 1m calls.
I'd like to revisit having more explicit spans but in a better way - #614
