feat: built-in tracing channel support

[pi0]

This PR adds a new nitro config tracing: true (or options) to enable built-in tracing channel support for internals.

Currently adding for h3 and srvx + db0 and unstorage comming soon thanks to @logaretm ❤️)

Node.js tracing channel is availabe in Node.js, Deno, Bun and also Cloudflare workers so it is kinda a universal and very lightweight standard for tracing events.

TODO:

• Node.js (prod)
• Deno and Bun
• Dev server (currently only h3 is traced, we need to migrate dev to srvx)
• Add tests

---

Example events:

[tracing:h3.request] asyncStart event={app,req,url,context}, type=middleware, result=undefined
[tracing:h3.request] asyncEnd event={app,req,url,context}, type=middleware, result=undefined
[tracing:h3.request] asyncStart event={app,req,url,context}, type=middleware, result=undefined
[tracing:h3.request] asyncEnd event={app,req,url,context}, type=middleware, result=undefined
[tracing:srvx.request] asyncStart request={runtime,waitUntil,context}, server={runtime,options,node,serveOptions,fetch}, result=Response(200 OK)
[tracing:srvx.request] asyncEnd request={runtime,waitUntil,context}, server={runtime,options,node,serveOptions,fetch}, result=Response(200 OK)

Looking good! The Sentry SDK is ready for release, but I see we have these items to tick down before release:

• Deno and Bun support
• Dev server (currently only h3 is traced, we need to migrate dev to srvx)
• Add tests

No rush or anything but can I help with those?
