This PR fixes a problem reported in #17451 where ignoring spans in idle root spans (pageload and navigations most prominently) caused the root span duration to be perceived much longer than reasonable. This is only a problem for idle spans in browser, so this PR applies a pragmatic fix to adjust the end time stamp:
We already adjust the time stamp when we end the idle span. So we might as well at this point take any to-be-removed-because-of-
ignoreSpansspans out of this calculation. This should work well enough without throwing a bunch of idle-span specific logic into the client or completely changing the point in the event lifecycle whereignoreSpansis applied.closes #17451
