This adds docs for the parentSpan option we added somewhat recently to the SDK, which should make it easier to understand. It also adds a dedicated section to custom instrumentation docs to explain this, as it is a rather common scenario.

Are we guarding this paragraph for node guides? AFAIK this won't work in browser SDK where we have a flat span hierarchy, right?

hmm, good point, I mean it will kind of work, if the span is a root span for example. I would leave this as is for now, we can maybe clarify this even further if needed!

…n*` (#12928)

Noticed this while writing docs, this makes this a bit harder to
understand. With this change you can say that `parentSpan` behaves the
same and accepts the same as `withActiveSpan`.
