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)))
```

cmd/geth: more testcases for logging (#28501)
* cmd/geth: more testcases for logging

This adds more edgecases around logging, particularly around handling of different types of nil-values
as concrete types and within interfaces.

Also adds tests with 'reserved' values which breaks json/logfmt formats. The json output is checked in,
but not actively used by any testcase at the moment.

* cmd/geth/testdata: remove timestamps
