feat(provider): expose context provider in ddtrace.trace [backport 2.20] (#12137)

Backport cb41f8e from #12135 to 2.20.

ddtrace v3.0 is set to remove `ddtrace.providers` module from the public
API. However we should still allow users to use their own
ContextProviders. This PR ensures the BaseContextProvider remains in the
public API and can be used in `tracer.configure(...)`.
