This applies to all data set, not just attributes. No manually set tag, context, data, etc. should be gated by sendDefaultPii.
Clarified the handling of sensitive data in SDK documentation, including details on PII flags and data filtering rules.

@cleptric put an alert above stating that all manual data should be sent regardless of the flag, does it look better? |

| When a user manually sets the data on the scope (user, contexts, tags, data, request, response, etc.), this data should not be gated by the _Send Default PII_ flag and should always be attached to all outgoing telemetry. |

Can we clarify that this also applies to data a user manually sets on a span, log, metric etc.
