### Proposal
+ [x] Create trace from synthetics and passing it via `traceparent` header to configured backends, includes HTTP and Browser based monitors. Sampling decision is controlled from Synthetics trace.
+ [x] Annotate requests to APM in the Synthetics step waterfall.
+ [x] Ability to annotate requests coming from Synthetics in the APM via UA or `tracestate` header.
+ [x] Implement a behaviour where linking back from APM to Synthetics monitor + step trace would be seamless.
- Might require individual `trace.id` for each steps in an journey as there can be N number of steps and each step could contain multiple APM backend calls.
* These changes ensures we maintain full compatbility with the OTEL agents and does not require any modifications on the APM server.
