DESCRIBE YOUR PR

Documents the Android SDK's experimental enableStandaloneAppStartTracing option. This adds the option reference, the manifest key, Java/Kotlin setup examples, and tracesSampler examples for sampling app.start transactions independently.

This mirrors the Apple standalone app start docs and supports the Android SDK work in getsentry/sentry-java#5342.
