feat: add support for ga4 cross-domain measurements
This isn't nearly as straightforward as it would initially seem. Additionally, it's essentially required for some store setups to get any form of accurate attribution/data tracking at all.
Note: To get it working you'll need to include Google Analytics 4's gtag.js and make sure it gets loaded and executed before the body does. In other words, make sure it's a blocking script in the <head> tag.
(there isn't really a great way to listen for gtag being initialized and even if there was it wouldn't make sense to waste time on loading it async since the whole goal is to redirect the user anyways).
*Based on code I wrote privately for https://www.sweetsideofsweden.com now available under MIT. I pretty much had to figure out this workaround through basically reverse-engineering.
Hopefully this will save people from also having to go through that pain.* :^)
