Description

runsc debug could add a option to enable/disable strace from the sentry. Right now it's enabled with a command-flag, which makes it hard to trace specific parts of applications, without generating a humongous log file.

Research direction
Investigate the existing runsc debug command implementation, likely in the runsc directory. Look at how other flags are handled (e.g., strace). Find the sentry configuration point where strace is toggled. Consider adding a new flag like strace=enable or strace=disable. Check if there are any linked PRs or comments for guidance.
