Preserving trace id in Lambda -> SQS -> Lambda flow

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
SQS Supports XRay but since Lambda execution is done as batch the lambda function consuming the queue starts a new trace. To work around this the consuming lambda needs to over write the traceid with the AWSTraceHeader value.

`func handler(ctx context.Context, event events.SQSEvent) {

if trcHdrStr, ok := event.Records[0].Attributes["AWSTraceHeader"]; ok {
	traceHeader := header.FromString(trcHdrStr)

	var seg *xray.Segment
	ctx, seg = xray.BeginSegment(ctx, "YOUR-SEGMENT-NAME")
	seg.TraceID = traceHeader.TraceID
	seg.ParentID = traceHeader.ParentID
	seg.Sampled = traceHeader.SamplingDecision == header.Sampled

	defer seg.Close(nil)
}

}`

Describe the solution you'd like
This would be perfect to have as an annotation

Describe alternatives you've considered
Its obivously an annotation ;)

If you provide guidance, is this something you'd like to contribute?
