feat: Report Web Vitals metrics on pageload transactions

Web Vitals is an initiative by Google to provide unified guidance for
quality signals that are essential to delivering a great user experience
on the web.

https://web.dev/vitals/

Instead of a manual implementation targeting the performance API
directly, this commit adds metrics by using the web-vitals library.

Using web-vitals allows us to easily report on all supported metrics at
the cost of ~1kb in the minified @sentry/apm bundle.

Core Web Vitals
- Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)
- First Input Delay (FID)
- Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)

Other Web Vitals
- First Contentful Paint (FCP)
- Time to First Byte (TTFB)
