Description

Defines what cache.ttl means when its value is 0, when it is absent, and when it is set on a read span.

• The value is the full TTL, not the time that remains
• 0 means "expires immediately" for Sentry: Caches disagree on 0. HTTP max-age=0 (RFC 9111), DNS (RFC 1035), Django, Laravel, and Next.js treat it as "expire now". Memcached and Spring treat it as "never expires". The two SDKs that send cache.ttl (Next.js and Laravel) use "expire now".
• An entry that never expires shouldn't send cache.ttl: Then no SDK has to send a number with two meanings. Next.js already does this. sentry-laravel currently sends null. Checked with @Litarnus - this is gonna be updated in Laravel.

PR Checklist

• I have run yarn test and verified that the tests pass.
• I have run yarn generate to generate and format code and docs.

If an attribute was added:

• The attribute is in a namespace (e.g. nextjs.function_id, not function_id)
• I have used the correct value for apply_scrubbing (i.e. manual or auto. Use never only for values that should never be scrubbed such as IDs)

If an attribute was deprecated:

• I've followed the policies described in CONTRIBUTING.md
