Don't supervise the tracer process
If we do then we end up killing the tracer after the stream
terminates and this is not what we want. This prevents us from
getting useful information from requests that are still ongoing
(when they run concurrently) and completely prevents us from
tracing Websocket handlers.

I'm not the biggest fan of having unsupervised modules but if
this is properly documented there should be no problem.

= Cowboy

Cowboy is a small, fast and modern HTTP server for Erlang/OTP.

== Goals

Cowboy aims to provide a *complete* HTTP stack in a *small* code base.
It is optimized for *low latency* and *low memory usage*, in part
because it uses *binary strings*.

Cowboy provides *routing* capabilities, selectively dispatching requests
to handlers written in Erlang.

Because it uses Ranch for managing connections, Cowboy can easily be
*embedded* in any other application.

Cowboy is *clean* and *well tested* Erlang code.
