Traced (co.elastic.apm:apm-agent-api 1.27.1 API)

```
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Target(METHOD)
public @interface Traced
```
Annotating a method with @Traced creates a Span as the child of the currently active span or transaction (ElasticApm.currentSpan()).
When there is no current span, a Transaction will be created instead.

Use this annotation over CaptureSpan or CaptureTransaction if a method can both be an entry point (a Transaction) or a unit of work within a transaction (a Span).

Note: it is required to configure the application_packages, otherwise this annotation will be ignored.
