Allow postponing event captures until User Consent is collected

Have the SDK operate ‘properly’, with it's configured features such as Replay. But ‘hold off’ on sending events until consent is given. If revoked stop events from being sent again.

Sentry Native already supports user consent (not for all backends though), we can borrow the idea and do something similar getsentry/sentry-native@a51ccbb/src/sentry_options.c#L276-L286

Relates to:

https://github.com/getsentry/team-mobile/issues/24

Specifically:

There's an internal doc that should be moved to GitHub.

@AbhiPrasad any notes on why we decided not to go ahead with this?

Nope, I think it just fell through the cracks. I moved it to Archived since it was a stale-bot closed issue. We can re-open and backlog!

Hi. What is expected way of handling user consent until this issue is resolved?

Add <script>/call Sentry.init only after user has agreed to gathering analytics? Something else?

They get stored until another envelope is sent and shouldSend returns true. Once one envelope is sent successfully the rest are attempted.

There is also an option to attempt flushing shortly after startup.
