What does this PR do?

CONFIRM COLD START VAR IS BOOLEAN

Rollout of span naming changes to align serverless product with tracer to create streamlined Service Representation for Serverless

Key Changes:

  • Change service name to match instance name for all managed services (aws.lambda -> lambda name, etc) (breaking)

  • Add span.kind:server on synthetic spans made via span-inferrer

Motivation

Improve Service Map for Serverless. This allows for synthetic spans to have their own service on the map which connects with the inferred spans from the tracer side.

Testing Guidelines

Unit and Integration tests updated accordingly.

Matching the service name to the instance name essentially removes the need for a base_service tag in some instances due to essentially removing service overrides
