Research direction

Start by locating the Apache httpd sampler implementation and the handling of parent-based sampling. Check how the always-on and always-off options are exposed, then determine how to add a parentbased_always_on/-off option so a web trace is not sampled when its parent is not sampled. No file or test is identified in the issue.
