Bastin 6b5ba5ad01 Switch logging from using prefixes to the new package path format (#16059)
#### This PR sets the foundation for the new logging features.

---

The goal of this big PR is the following:
1. Adding a log.go file to every package:
[_commit_](54f6396d4c)
- Writing a bash script that adds the log.go file to every package that
imports logrus, except the excluded packages, configured at the top of
the bash script.
- the log.go file creates a log variable and sets a field called
`package` to the full path of that package.
- I have tried to fix every error/problem that came from mass generation
of this file. (duplicate declarations, different prefix names, etc...)
- some packages had the log.go file from before, and had some helper
functions in there as well. I've moved all of them to a `log_helpers.go`
file within each package.

2. Create a CI rule which verifies that:
[_commit_](b799c3a0ef)
- every package which imports logrus, also has a log.go file, except the
excluded packages.
- the `package` field of each log.go variable, has the correct path. (to
detect when we move a package or change it's name)
- I pushed a commit with a manually changed log.go file to trigger the
ci check failure and it worked.

3. Alter the logging system to read the prefix from this `package` field
for every log while outputing:
[_commit_](b0c7f1146c)
- some packages have/want/need a different log prefix than their package
name (like `kv`). This can be solved by keeping a map of package paths
to prefix names somewhere.

**Some notes:**
- Please review everything carefully.
- I created the `prefixReplacement` map and populated the data that I
deemed necessary. Please check it and complain if something doesn't make
sense or is missing. I attached at the bottom, the list of all the
packages that used to use a different name than their package name as
their prefix.
- I have chosen to mark some packages to be excluded from this whole
process. They will either not log anything, or log without a prefix, or
log using their previously defined prefix. See the list of exclusions in
the bottom.
- I fixed all the tests that failed because of this change. These were
failing because they were expecting the old prefix to be in the
generated logs. I have changed those to expect the new `package` field
instead. This might not be a great solution. Ideally we might want to
remove this from the tests so they only test for relevant fields in the
logs. but this is a problem for another day.
- Please run the node with this config, and mention if you see something
weird in the logs. (use different verbosities)
- The CI workflow uses a script that basically runs the
`hack/gen-logs.sh` and checks that the git diff is zero. that script is
`hack/check-logs.sh`. This means that if one runs this script locally,
it will not actually _check_ anything, rather than just regenerate the
log.go files and fix any mistake. This might be confusing. Please
suggest solutions if you think it's a problem.
