This MR, which pretty much adds contexts to all exported methods, allows us to use that information not only in the main library component but also in custom server list, which then can be used for other stuff such as instrumentation for new relic, which was the original objective for which I forked the library.

This looks a bit useless. At this point there is no network call yet. Dial happens below in c.dial. You want to extend dial with custom dialer, see https://pkg.go.dev/net#Dialer.DialContext

  1. This is breaking change. I doubt it can be accepted.
  2. Wonder what is the use case to add context for these methods. You can have background goroutine which updates servers list if needed. Current implementation also indicates that context is not needed.
