Update the DSC's sample-rate

[cleptric]

Description

As required by Relay and the EAP, the sample_rate in the DSC must specify the actual sample rate of the trace. If an SDK overrides the sample rate of an incoming trace, for example by invoking the tracesSampler, the new rate must be set on the DSC.
Note that usually the DSC is supposed to be immutable, which includes the sample rate, to ensure complete traces. Invoking the tracesSampler purposefully opts out of this and modifies the DSC.

Implementation

On an incoming trace, the DSC's sample_rate is updated if:

• an explicit sampling decision is forced, e.g. startTransaction(sampled: true)
• the tracesSampler is invoked
• the tracesSampleRate is used
