Support for tail based sampling? #4769

Description

@numirov

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We want to have more control over sampling in our application.

  1. Don't record dependencies that are less than 100ms(successpath), but record everything that is >100ms. (numbers are arbitrary)
  2. Record 100% failed telemetry(span/trace/etc) as described here Problem to configure sampling override #3511 . Recording only exception doesn't give much context if everything surrounding it is sampled.
    We want to lower our costs but also have useful telemetry, I believe having tail based sampling would greatly help us.
