Return transaction for Sentry.getSpan when global hub mode is enabled

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -12,6 +12,7 @@ Breaking changes:
 - Reduce timeout of AsyncHttpTransport to avoid ANR ([#2879](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java/pull/2879))
 - Add deadline timeout for automatic transactions ([#2865](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java/pull/2865))
   - This affects all automatically generated transactions on Android (UI, clicks), the default timeout is 30s
+- If global hub mode is enabled (default on Android), Sentry.getSpan() returns the root span instead of the latest span ([#2855](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java/pull/2855))
