newrelic-java-agent Equivalent to OTEL `@WithSpan` annotation

There is an annotation in the OTEL agent called @WithSpan that can allows developers to specify which method traces should generate Span events.

This customer is looking to suppress the creation of Span events for specific method traces.

They would like us to implement an equivalent annotation.

This issue would be used to address the problem where excludeFromTransactionTrace does not exclude the target method from traces derived from distributed traces.
