fix(node): UnifygetDynamicSamplingContextFromSpan (#12522)

We used to have a different implementation, that worked slightly
different.

This had two problems:

1. We did not look up the root span in the OTEL implementation, but
relied on already passing in the root span (in core, we convert it to
root span)
2. We did not use frozen DSC properly

Now, the core implementation just works for both OTEL and core spans.

While at this, it also aligns the behavior of looking at the `source` of
a span for DSC. Now, only if the source is `url` we'll _not_ set the
transaction on the DSC - previously, if no source was set at all, we'd
also skip this. But conceptually "no source" is similar to "custom",
which we _do_ allow, so now this is a bit simpler.

Fixes #12508
