📜 Description

Rename the session trace lifecycle option to enableSessionTraces across the core SDK, Android manifest metadata, external properties, and tests.

The option is now configured as:

• Java/Kotlin: setEnableSessionTraces(...) / isEnableSessionTraces
• properties: enable-session-traces
• Android manifest: io.sentry.traces.enable-session-traces

💡 Motivation and Context

enableSessionTraces is shorter and more directly describes the feature being enabled. This keeps the public API and configuration names aligned before the Session based Traces for Mobile stack lands.

💚 How did you test it?

• ./gradlew :sentry:test --tests='io.sentry.SentryOptionsTest' --tests='io.sentry.ExternalOptionsTest' --tests='io.sentry.ScopesTest'
• ./gradlew :sentry-android-core:testDebugUnitTest --tests='io.sentry.android.core.ManifestMetadataReaderTest' --tests='io.sentry.android.core.ActivityLifecycleIntegrationTest' --tests='io.sentry.android.core.internal.gestures.SentryGestureListenerTracingTest'
• ./gradlew :sentry-android-navigation:testDebugUnitTest --tests='io.sentry.android.navigation.SentryNavigationListenerTest'
• ./gradlew spotlessApply apiDump
