SDKs should send ip_address = {{auto}} by default and not guarded by sendDefaultPii

[marandaneto]

For disabling:

The project configuration has a toggle to disable storing the IP address.

Next step whenever needed:

Ideally, we'd need a new toggle on the project configuration to not store/derivate the location based on the IP Address.

Note

It's important that this is clearly explained in release notes, ideally with a link to the project settings to disable storing the IP address.

I just checked sentry-java: How should the SDK behave when the IP address is set on an event and sendDefaultPii = false? Should the IP address be overridden with {{ auto }} or kept?

[marandaneto]

@markushi user's value always has precedence, so {{ auto }} is only set if nothing is set.
