slog: faster and less memory-consumption (#28621)
These changes improves the performance of the non-coloured terminal formatting, _quite a lot_.

I tried to _somewhat_ organize the commits, but the it might still be a bit chaotic. Some core insights: 

- The function `terminalHandler.Handl` uses a mutex, and writes all output immediately to 'upstream'. Thus, it can reuse a scratch-buffer every time. 
- This buffer can be propagated internally, making all the internal formatters either write directly to it,
- OR, make  use of the `tmp := buf.AvailableBuffer()` in some cases, where a byte buffer "extra capacity" can be temporarily used. 
- The `slog` package  uses `Attr` by value. It makes sense to minimize operating on them, since iterating / collecting into a new slice, iterating again etc causes copy-on-heap. Better to operate on them only once. 
- If we want to do padding, it's better to copy from a constant `space`-buffer than to invoke `bytes.Repeat` every single time.

all: replace log15 with slog (#28187)
This PR replaces Geth's logger package (a fork of [log15](https://github.com/inconshreveable/log15)) with an implementation using slog, a logging library included as part of the Go standard library as of Go1.21.

Main changes are as follows:
* removes any log handlers that were unused in the Geth codebase.
* Json, logfmt, and terminal formatters are now slog handlers.
* Verbosity level constants are changed to match slog constant values.  Internal translation is done to make this opaque to the user and backwards compatible with existing `--verbosity` and `--vmodule` options.
* `--log.backtraceat` and `--log.debug` are removed.

The external-facing API is largely the same as the existing Geth logger.  Logger method signatures remain unchanged.

A small semantic difference is that a `Handler` can only be set once per `Logger` and not changed dynamically.  This just means that a new logger must be instantiated every time the handler of the root logger is changed.

----
For users of the `go-ethereum/log` module. If you were using this module for your own project, you will need to change the initialization. If you previously did 
```golang
log.Root().SetHandler(log.LvlFilterHandler(log.LvlInfo, log.StreamHandler(os.Stderr, log.TerminalFormat(true))))
```
You now instead need to do 
```golang
log.SetDefault(log.NewLogger(log.NewTerminalHandlerWithLevel(os.Stderr, log.LevelInfo, true)))
```

log: avoid stack lookups when not needed/used (#28069)
