Add option to exclude certain HTTP statuses from tracing in SDK

[dingsdax]

If not already implemented or only partially implemented: SDK should not trace incoming 404s by default to reduce noise. Add a config option to exclude specific HTTP statuses from tracing. This should mirror existing behavior in other SDKs (Laravel, JavaScript).

• New config option (e.g. trace_ignore_status_codes: [404, ...])
• Backwards compatible (default still traces 404s)
• Tests + docs updated

SYMFONY-24 Add option to exclude certain HTTP statuses from tracing in SDK

I recommend this one.

Agree on this, but it may need to be considered a breaking change.

I do this in my projects with this configuration:

sentry:
  options:
   ignore_exceptions:
      - Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Exception\AccessDeniedException
      - Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\NotFoundHttpException

What does an exception has to do with ignoring traces?

[Jean85]

Ouch sorry my bad, I mistook this for default config for errors, not traces. In any case, those exceptions are how Symfony reports 404 and 403, so it's still what you may want to intercept.
