Description
### Problem Statement
In the trace explorer, there is currently no way to surface tags such as `browser` at the span level. This prevents us from being able to see span metrics by browser type, device class, etc without manual instrumentation.
### Solution Brainstorm
Add `root` property to span that contains all parent transaction tag values. We could then aggregate on `root.browser` at the span level for example.
### Product Area

Research direction
Start by tracing how the trace explorer represents span and parent transaction tags; the issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Define how a span-level root property should expose parent transaction tags, then verify that aggregations such as root.browser work for browser and device-class values.
