Wrong param in start_span, 'name' should be 'description'

Python SDK

Description

Page: https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/python/tracing/instrumentation/custom-instrumentation/

Several examples of this:
with sentry_sdk.start_transaction(op="task", name="Eat Pizza"):

This causes a runtime exception: Span.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'name'

@Rasmus-S-Kristensen Please see this section, specifically this note:

Our docs pages document the latest versions of our SDKs, unless otherwise noted. Most likely, you are using an older version of the Sentry SDK which only supports the description parameter.

Since the page is accurate for the latest SDK versions (above 2.15.0), I am closing this issue. Please let us know if you have any other feedback.

I stand corrected - thanks for the clarification :)
