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.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how strace is currently enabled in the sentry (likely via command line flag) and modify `runsc debug` to accept a ` strace` toggle that enables/disables strace at runtime. Look for the sentry's tracing initialization and the debug command handler in the codebase.
