Support `hints`
Description
This is needed for https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-cocoa/issues/1460 and https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-cocoa/issues/2650
Also for https://develop.sentry.dev/sdk/features/#http-client-errors -> PR
Hints are part of the Unified API.
Hints are generally a Map<String, Any>, on Java leverage the data bag with a typed class with helper methods.
If we add an overload for beforeSend with a hint we can do this without a breaking change.
On Java, we have typed hints. I think that would be better than having a
Map<String, Any>.
Yes, it used to be a Map, now it is a typed Hint, which is better.
Hints must allow capturing stacktraces only for one event if capture stacktraces is disabled in the options, as requested in https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-cocoa/issues/3386.
Thanks, @philipphofmann! Can you expand a little bit more on how much of a priority this is from Sentry's point of view and what should we expect in terms of timeline? 🙏
@marcelofabri We bumped the priority because we have more data points that hints would be a useful addition for some use cases. We don't plan to tackle this within the next few weeks at the moment so don't have a specific timeline, but we'd want to land this within the next months.
