Description

### Problem Statement

Sentry's built-in profiling is reasonably low-overhead, but it takes a snapshot of the app's stack every ~10ms. This can miss quite a lot of events. Before Python 3.12, implementing a more comprehensive profiler would tank performance and was absolutely cost-prohibitive in production.

### Solution Brainstorm

But since 3.12 we have [PEP 669](https://peps.python.org/pep-0669/) and [sys.monitoring](https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.monitoring.html), a low(er)-overhead method of getting access to interpreter events. These allow informing a profiler whenever a new interpreter event happens in process. It'd be nice to investigate if this could be used for more granular Python profiling.
