Support multi-process scope sync
Description
Currently if the Android SDK is used in an multi-process app, the scopes are not synchronized between processes, meaning breadcrumbs/tags/contexts from one process will not show up for errors from another. We should probably introduce a flag to make this opt-in, and to make it work we can do one of the following:
- Communicate between processes using
IBinderthrough a bound service and package data as Parcelable. Here's a good example on implementing IPC: https://github.com/perihanmirkelam/IPC-Examples - Persist the scope data to disk from both processes and when an error occurs in any of them, use the persisted data in favour of what's currently in-memory. We already do persist the data for ANRs, so it could be as simple as replacing our MainEventProcessor and DefaultAndroidEventProcessor with a new one that reads the data from disk (use AnrV2EventProcessor as prior art).
An example use case is when using Unity as a Library (UaaL) which runs in a separate process.
