Disable AdaptiveSampling when using UseApplicationInsights

[Tadimsky]

There is no way to set EnableAdaptiveSampling to false when using the WebHostBuilder extensions.

public static IWebHostBuilder UseApplicationInsights(this IWebHostBuilder webHostBuilder)
{
    webHostBuilder.ConfigureServices(collection =>
    {
        collection.AddApplicationInsightsTelemetry();                
    });

    return webHostBuilder;
}

Should this be possible? Right now I'm having to ditch this extension and do it myself:

webHostBuilder.ConfigureServices(collection =>
{
    collection.AddApplicationInsightsTelemetry((options) =>
    {
        options.InstrumentationKey = appInsightsKey;
        options.EnableAdaptiveSampling = false;
    });
});

If there is need to customize, then use the AddApplicationInsightsTelemetry extension method on IServiceCollection.

That's what I'm doing. Just thought it would make sense to be able to do this as part of UseApplicationInsights

Got it. I'll tag this as an enhancement.
Ideally I'd have preferred to have just one mechanism to enable AI, but due to historic reasons we have two, each with separate capabilities.
