Steps to Reproduce

1. Read the docs: It says that the HTTP integration creates spans for outgoing HTTP requests, but it does not create a transaction. You need to create the transaction manually, or use something like express middleware, which creates a transaction for each incoming HTTP request, to which the spans of outgoing HTTP requests are added (true).
2. Read the comment at

   sentry-javascript/packages/node/src/integrations/http.ts

   Line 68 in ec9eebc

   * The http module integration instruments Node's internal http module. It creates breadcrumbs, transactions for outgoing

   which says that the HTTP integration creates transactions (untrue).
3. Be confused, because the docs and source code comments contradict.

Expected Result

Docs and source code comments do not contradict.

Actual Result

Docs and source code comments contradict.
