Support for tracing GRPC requests

[craigds]

We use sentry performance monitoring for our user-facing API running Django REST Framework. However, behind that we also have an internal API using GRPC that we're hitting via a grpcio client wrapper.

It'd be very useful for us to be able to (automatically?) instrument the GRPC API, and for those traces to appear as subtraces of the user-facing API.

Thanks for writing in, we've put this in the teams backlog, but in the mean time, contributions are welcome if anyone wants to submit a PR!

waiting for this function too

This issue has gone three weeks without activity. In another week, I will close it.

But! If you comment or otherwise update it, I will reset the clock, and if you label it Status: Backlog or Status: In Progress, I will leave it alone ... forever!
