Add Profile to Custom Transaction

Description

Need it for Android but probably a good idea for all SDK's.

We have Android's documentation for Custom Instrumentation we have:

• Add More Spans to the Transaction
• Create Transaction Bound to The Current Scope
• Connect Errors with Spans So how about for
• Add Profile to the Custom Transaction :)

Overall Approach:

1. start a custom transaction [docs say transaction, not span]
2. [profile will start being recorded for this transaction? :point_up:]
3. [must create a 'profile' obj, do profile.start() and attach it to the transaction obj? How?]
4. end the custom transaction [and this will auto-finish the open profile?]

Suggested Solution

Overall Approach:

1. start a custom transaction [docs say transaction, not span]
2. profile starts being recorded (assuming they have SDK Profiling enabled)
3. end the custom transaction and this ends the profile

Can open the Trace/Transaction in Sentry and then view the profile. It should cover the same duration of the parent span (the transaction).
