Bug fixes

• Resilient Environment Settings Fixed a crash when using generalimport with the agent. Thanks for the contribution, aaeabdo!

• Remove deprecated drop_transaction calls from agent The drop_transaction function had been removed from the agent but references to it still existed, so this version of the agent removes any remaining calls.

• Fix logic in serverless distributed tracing to work by default
