Description
### Problem Statement
There is no integration in the Python SDK which provides some auto-instrumentation for kafka interactions. Which requires [manual instrumentation](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/python/usage/distributed-tracing/custom-instrumentation/) to be able to capture span information and have OOTB distributed tracing with services communicating
### Solution Brainstorm
There is already a [redis integration](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/python/configuration/integrations/redis/), which is not immediately the same as Kafka but also can behave as a messaging service.
There is also in OTel some Kafka integration. would it be possible to have something similar or re-use their integration in the Sentry SDK?
