[typed-protocols]: Fix the contra-tracer mess

from typed-protocols.

@coot This will actually have to be reverted. This PR fixed it in this package but the overall problem is much bigger and hairier.

Renaming IOG's contra-tracer to iog-contra-tracer and propagating this through all the repos is incredibly difficult.
The problems include:

contra-tracer is used everywhere.
The Hackage version and the IOG version have the same package name, define the same module names but are not 100% compatible.
Some code in ouroboros-network is designed to be compatible with both the Hackage of the IOG version.
node uses a non-head version of ouroboros-network that includes ouroboros-consensus.
Current HEAD of ouroboros-network does not include ouroboros-consensus.
If any repo is upgraded to use iog-contra-tracer and any of the packages in that repo or ANY of its dependencies still relies on contra-tracer cabal with pull in the Hackage version instead of the IOG version and the compile will break.
