What does this pull request do?
Adds new configuration option so you can set the sampling rate by transaction name. I'm not 100% certain this is the correct way to do this, so please let me know if I should be going about this in a different manner.
Why is it important?
When you have an application with certain portions that get a significant amount of traffic, there is currently no good way to control the sampling. Either you are blind to low volume transactions or have to collect a lot more samples than you need. You can currently get around this with Tail-based sampling, but this is not available on serverless. This also still requires you send a ton of data to your APM server that you may not need to.
