Daniel Nephin 7237eb67ed Update github.com/joyent/triton-go to latest
There was an RSA private key used for testing included in the old
version. This commit updates it to a version that does not include the
key so that the key is not detected by tools which scan the Consul
binary for private keys.

Commands run:

go get github.com/joyent/triton-go@6801d15b779f042cfd821c8a41ef80fc33af9d47
make update-vendor

Package trace contains support for OpenCensus distributed tracing.
The following assumes a basic familiarity with OpenCensus concepts.
See http://opencensus.io
Exporting Traces
To export collected tracing data, register at least one exporter. You can use
one of the provided exporters or write your own.
trace.RegisterExporter(exporter)
By default, traces will be sampled relatively rarely. To change the sampling
frequency for your entire program, call ApplyConfig. Use a ProbabilitySampler
to sample a subset of traces, or use AlwaysSample to collect a trace on every run:
trace.ApplyConfig(trace.Config{DefaultSampler: trace.AlwaysSample()})
Be careful about using trace.AlwaysSample in a production application with
significant traffic: a new trace will be started and exported for every request.
Adding Spans to a Trace
A trace consists of a tree of spans. In Go, the current span is carried in a
context.Context.
It is common to want to capture all the activity of a function call in a span. For
this to work, the function must take a context.Context as a parameter. Add these two
lines to the top of the function:
ctx, span := trace.StartSpan(ctx, "example.com/Run")
defer span.End()
StartSpan will create a new top-level span if the context
doesn't contain another span, otherwise it will create a child span.
