DESCRIBE YOUR PR

This PR updates tracing-relevant pages under Configuration with information about the new stream mode and the new Span APIs.

A note on the Sampling page in this PR: the tracing part on this page is content-wise almost identical to the Configure Sampling under Tracing. In this branch, I did not update the Sampling page; instead, I only linked to the other guide for stream-mode users. I strongly feel we need to streamline these two pages to avoid duplicate maintenance work -- but this needs to be tackled in a separate PR.

Important

Broken links: I added links to the New Spans guide on these pages, but since this guide does not exist in this branch, we get a linting error.
Should only be merged after #18456

LEGAL BOILERPLATE

Look, I get it. The entity doing business as "Sentry" was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 2015 as Functional Software, Inc. and is gonna need some rights from me in order to utilize my contributions in this here PR. So here's the deal: I retain all rights, title and interest in and to my contributions, and by keeping this boilerplate intact I confirm that Sentry can use, modify, copy, and redistribute my contributions, under Sentry's choice of terms.
