Disable tracing in Promptflow by default (#3907)

# Description

Tracing frequently causes problems because OAI/AOAI keeps changing token
statistics contracts. Disabling this feature to prevent these issues.

# All Promptflow Contribution checklist:
- [ ] **The pull request does not introduce [breaking changes].**
