For reasons of backwards compatibility, we still support changing the active transaction's name by assigning to
scope.transaction, even thoughscope.transactionis actually theTransactionobject whose name you're changing. Eventually we won't support it, though, and in the meantime it's very confusing. This PR therefore updates the code to do it the right way, which is to first retrieve the transaction and then set its name directly.Fixes getsentry/sentry-python#1155.
