Eliza Weisman b8f63308d7 trace-core: Pass dispatcher by ref to dispatcher::with_default (#971)
* trace-core: Pass dispatcher by ref to `dispatcher::with_default`

As requested by @carllerche in https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio/pull/966#discussion_r264380005, this branch changes the
`dispatcher::with_default` function in `tokio-trace-core` to take the
dispatcher by ref and perform the clone internally. This makes this
function more consistant with other `with_default` functions in other
crates.

* trace: Don't set the default dispatcher on entering a span

Setting the default dispatcher on span entry is a relic of when spans
tracked their parent's ID. At that time, it was necessary to ensure that
any spans created inside a span were observed by the same subscriber
that originally provided the entered span with an ID, as otherwise, new
spans would be created with parent IDs that did not originate from that
subscriber.

Now that spans don't track their parent ID, this is no longer necessary.
However, removing this behavior does mean that if a span is entered
outside of the subscriber context it was created in, any subsequent
spans will be observed by the current default subscriber and thus will
not be part of the original span's trace tree. Since subscribers are not
expected to change frequently, and spans are not expected to move
between them, this is likely acceptable.

I've removed the tests for the old behavior.

Note that this change improves the performance of span entry/exit fairly
significantly. Here are the results of running a benchmark that enters
a span, does nothing, and immediately exits it, before this change:

```
test enter_span              ... bench:          93 ns/iter (+/- 14)
```

...and after:

```
test enter_span              ... bench:          51 ns/iter (+/- 9)
```
