Background

Sentry provides a number of framework integration with its Go SDK which allow for more specialized instrumentation in Go applications. However this is not reflected in the sdk name in the event meta data sent to Sentry. Most other SDKs do conform to this, even in python where auto-detection is in place for framework integration.

Proposal

Sentry's Golang SDK will change the sdk name in the event (all events) meta data to reflect the framework integration being used in the application, to conform and be better situated to take advantage of any backend processing of events. This helps to know if users are getting the most out of sentry possible and which integrations are the most popular.
