Pull request description:
This is an updated version of https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25287 and the next steps in parent PR #25203 implementing, with Klement Tan, user-configurable, per-category severity log levels based on an idea by John Newbery and refined in GitHub discussions by Wladimir Van der Laan and Marco Falke.
- simplify the `BCLog::Level` enum class and the `LogLevelToStr()` function and add documentation
- update the logging logic to filter logs by log level both globally and per-category
- add a hidden `-loglevel` help-debug config option to allow testing setting the global or per-category severity level on startup for logging categories enabled with the `-debug` configuration option or the logging RPC (Klement Tan)
- add a `trace` log severity level selectable by the user; the plan is for the current debug messages to become trace, LogPrint ones to become debug, and LogPrintf ones to become info, warning, or error
```
$ ./src/bitcoind -help-debug | grep -A10 loglevel
-loglevel=<level>|<category>:<level>
Set the global or per-category severity level for logging categories
enabled with the -debug configuration option or the logging RPC:
info, debug, trace (default=info); warning and error levels are
always logged. If <category>:<level> is supplied, the setting
will override the global one and may be specified multiple times
to set multiple category-specific levels. <category> can be:
addrman, bench, blockstorage, cmpctblock, coindb, estimatefee,
http, i2p, ipc, leveldb, libevent, lock, mempool, mempoolrej,
net, proxy, prune, qt, rand, reindex, rpc, selectcoins, tor,
util, validation, walletdb, zmq.
```

One final push per `git range-diff a5d5569 ce3c4c9 9580480` (should be trivial to re-ACK) to ensure this pull changes no default behavior in any way for users or the tests/CI in order to be completely v24 compatible, to update the unit test setup in general, and to update the debug logging section in the developer notes.

In order to prevent memory DoS, we must ensure that we don't accept a new
header into memory until we've performed anti-DoS checks, such as verifying
that the header is part of a sufficiently high work chain. This commit adds a
new argument to AcceptBlockHeader() so that we can ensure that all call-sites
which might cause a new header to be accepted into memory have to grapple with
the question of whether the header is safe to accept, or needs further
validation.
This patch also fixes two places where low-difficulty-headers could have been
processed without such validation (processing an unrequested block from the
network, and processing a compact block).

for verbose log messages for development or debugging only, as bitcoind may run
more slowly, that are more granular/frequent than the Debug log level, i.e. for
very high-frequency, low-level messages to be logged distinctly from
higher-level, less-frequent debug logging that could still be usable in production.
An example would be to log higher-level peer events (connection, disconnection,
misbehavior, eviction) as Debug, versus Trace for low-level, high-volume p2p
messages in the BCLog::NET category. This will enable the user to log only the
former without the latter, in order to focus on high-level peer management events.
With respect to the name, "trace" is suggested as the most granular level
in resources like the following:
- https://sematext.com/blog/logging-levels
- https://howtodoinjava.com/log4j2/logging-levels
Update the test framework and add test coverage.
- add a -loglevel=<level>|<category:level> config option to allow users
to set a global -loglevel and category-specific log levels. LogPrintLevel
messages with a higher severity level than -loglevel will not be printed
in the debug log.
- for now, this config option is debug-only during the migration to
severity-based logging
- update unit and functional tests

Also:
- Make DEFAULT_MAX_SIG_CACHE_SIZE into constexpr
DEFAULT_MAX_SIG_CACHE_BYTES to utilize the compile-time integer
arithmetic overflow checking available to constexpr.
- Fix comment (MiB instead of MB) for DEFAULT_MAX_SIG_CACHE_BYTES.
- Pass in max_size_bytes parameter to InitS*Cache(), modify log line to
no longer allude to maxsigcachesize being split evenly between the two
validation caches.
- Fix possible integer truncation and add a comment.
[META] I've kept the integer types as int64_t in order to not introduce
unintended behaviour changes, in the next commit we will make
them size_t.
Returning the approximate total size eliminates the need for
InitS*Cache() to do nElems*sizeof(uint256). The cuckoocache has a better
idea of this information.
It is part of the node library. Also, it won't be moved to the kernel
lib, as it will be pruned of ArgsManager.
