Allow excluding certain libs from instrumentation
As we have quite a few issues reported where our auto-instrumentation fails to instrument obfuscated/minified libs, it's not really scalable to release a new patch-fix always. We should provide an option for the users to manually exclude the failing libs from instrumentation.
- On AGP < 7.2. we should implement our own logic for excluding to maintain backward-compatibility
- On AGP 7.2+ this comes as part of their API already, so we probably need to wire our inputs to theirs.
Consider creating a troubleshooting for now, before we get this one, so people know why and how to disable the broken instrumentation. https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-docs/issues/4397 but we don't need to address all the cases now, a new page with only this item would be fine for now.
The frontend uses a regex to find out if something is minified or not, https://github.com/getsentry/sentry/blob/b5cc15b4d114fae56880e92f65ccbf4c742135f0/static/app/components/events/eventEntries.tsx#L151-L157= But this solution alone won't help since the false positives may still allow some classes to be minified and cause instrumentation issues.
