Description

After #3189 lands, we are starting to use contexts to perform metrics collection. To really make this nice, we should pass the metrics collector down through the context chain. Doing so will make metrics collection throughout the codebase much easier to test and reason about.

This will require us to fix: https://github.com/jbenet/goprocess/issues/16

Contributor guide
