Update SamplingParameters

 - The storage of a local or remote Span in a `context.Context` using its SpanContext is unified to store just the current Span.
   The Span's SpanContext can now self-identify as being remote or not.
   This means that `"go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace".ContextWithRemoteSpanContext` will now overwrite any existing current Span, not just existing remote Spans, and make it the current Span in a `context.Context`. (#1731)
+- The `ParentContext` field of the `"go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace".SamplingParameters` is updated to hold a `context.Context` containing the parent span.
+  This changes it to make `SamplingParameters` conform with the OpenTelemetry specification. (#1749)

   Because of this `"go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace".RemoteSpanContextFromContext` is removed as it is no longer needed.
   Instead, `"go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace".SpanContextFromContex` can be used to return the current Span.
   If needed, that Span's `SpanContext.IsRemote()` can then be used to determine if it is remote or not. (#1731)
+- The `HasRemoteParent` field of the `"go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace".SamplingParameters` is removed.
+  This field is redundant to the information returned from the `Remote` method of the `SpanContext` held in the `ParentContext` field. (#1749)
