fix(core): Rethrow caught promise rejections in startSpan, `startSp…

…anManual`, `trace` (#9958) Our previous implementation of `startSpan` et.al. assumed that because we were "cloning" the original promise, unhandled promise rejections would still bubble up to the global `onunhandledrejection` handler so that Sentry would catch the error. However, we tried investigating this and found out that our "cloning" mechanism didn't work correctly and because we already added a rejection handler, the promise rejection would _not always_ make it to the global handler. After adding multiple integration tests, I further narrowed the buggy behaviour down to a rather special case: The `startSpan` call is not `await`ed which for some reason will lead to the SDK not catching the error. Unless, we apply the fix in this PR. This patch removes this cloning mechanism in favour of directly attaching a rejection handler to the promise. In this handler, we rethrow the error which should trigger the global handlers.
