* tests/fuzzers: move fuzzers into native packages (#28467)
This PR moves our fuzzers from tests/fuzzers into whatever their respective 'native' package is.
The historical reason why they were placed in an external location, is that when they were based on go-fuzz, they could not be "hidden" via the _test.go prefix. So in order to shove them away from the go-ethereum "production code", they were put aside.
But now we've rewritten them to be based on golang testing, and thus can be brought back. I've left (in tests/) the ones that are not production (bls128381), require non-standard imports (secp requires btcec, bn256 requires gnark/google/cloudflare deps).
This PR also adds a fuzzer for precompiled contracts, because why not.
This PR utilizes a newly rewritten replacement for go-118-fuzz-build, namely gofuzz-shim, which utilises the inputs from the fuzzing engine better.

Adds a subcommand: `geth snapshot export-preimages`, to export preimages of every hash found during a snapshot enumeration: that is, it exports _only the active state_, and not _all_ preimages that have been used but are no longer part of the state.
This tool is needed for the verkle transition, in order to distribute the preimages needed for the conversion. Since only the 'active' preimages are exported, the output is shrunk from ~70GB to ~4GB.
The order of the output is the order used by the snapshot enumeration, which avoids database thrashing. However, it also means that storage-slot preimages are not deduplicated.

* cmd/evm, core/state: fix post-exec dump of state (statetests, blockchaintests) (#28504)
There were several problems related to dumping state.
- If a preimage was missing, even if we had set the `OnlyWithAddresses` to `false`, to export them anyway, the way the mapping was constructed (using `common.Address` as key) made the entries get lost anyway. Concerns both state- and blockchain tests.
- Blockchain test execution was not configured to store preimages.
This changes makes it so that the block test executor takes a callback, just like the state test executor already does. This callback can be used to examine the post-execution state, e.g. to aid debugging of test failures.
* ethereum: remove TODO comment about subscription (#28609)
* eth/tracers/js: fix type inconsistencies (#28488)
This change fixes two type-inconsistencies in the JS tracer:
- In most places we return byte arrays as a `Uint8Array` to the tracer. However it seems we missed doing the conversion for `ctx` fields which are passed to the tracer during `result`. They are passed as simple arrays. I think Uint8Arrays are more suitable and we should change this inconsistency. Note: this will be a breaking-change. But I believe the effect is small. If we look at our tracers we see that these fields (`ctx.from`, `ctx.to`, etc.) are used in 2 ways. Passed to `toHex` which takes both array or buffer. Or the length was measured which is the same for both types.
- The `slice` taking in `int, int` params versus `memory.slice` taking `int64, int64` params. I suggest changing `slice` types to `int64`. This should have no effect almost in any case.

* 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)))
```

```
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.

This change
- Removes interface `log.Format`,
- Removes method `log.FormatFunc`,
- unexports `TerminalHandler.TerminalFormat` formatting methods (renamed to `TerminalHandler.format`)
- removes the notion of `log.Lazy` values
The lazy handler was useful in the old log package, since it
could defer the evaluation of costly attributes until later in the
log pipeline: thus, if the logging was done at 'Trace', we could
skip evaluation if logging only was set to 'Info'.
With the move to slog, this way of deferring evaluation is no longer
needed, since slog introduced 'Enabled': the caller can thus do
the evaluate-or-not decision at the callsite, which is much more
straight-forward than dealing with lazy reflect-based evaluation.
Also, lazy evaluation would not work with 'native' slog, as in, these
two statements would be evaluated differently:
```golang
log.Info("foo", "my lazy", lazyObj)
slog.Info("foo", "my lazy", lazyObj)

* Add CLI flags to config LevelDB table/total sizes
I wired up CLI flags to allow configuring LevelDB table and total sizes:
- `--leveldb.compaction.table.size`, LevelDB SSTable file size factor in MiB (default: 2)
- `--leveldb.compaction.table.multiplier`, multiplier on LevelDB SSTable file size (default: 1)
- `--leveldb.compaction.total.size`, total size factor in MiB of LevelDB levels (default: 10)
- `--leveldb.compaction.total.multiplier`, multiplier on LevelDB total level size (default: 10)
N.B. that the default values for these configs are exactly the same as
before this changset and so Bor behavior should not change unless these
flags are deliberately overridden. Bor/Geth inherited the default values
from [the `goleveldb`
defaults](126854af5e/leveldb/opt/options.go).
We (Alchemy) found it necessary to override these configs as follows to
keep Bor archive nodes tracking the canonical chain:
- `--leveldb.compaction.table.size=4`
- `--leveldb.compaction.total.size=20`
These overrides double the size of LevelDB SSTable files (2 MiB -> 4
MiB) and also the total amount of data in each level (100 MiB -> 200
MiB, 1,000 MiB -> 2,000 MiB, etc.). The idea is to have LevelDB read and
write data in larger chunks while keeping the proportional frequency of
compaction operations the same as in the original defaults defined by
Dean and Ghemawat.
Without these overrides we found that our archive nodes would tend to
fall into a "LevelDB compaction loop of death" where the incoming stream
of blockchain data could not be flowed into LevelDB's structure quickly
enough, resulting in the node blocking writes for long periods of time
while LevelDB's single-threaded compaction organized the data. Over
time the nodes would fall farther and farther behind the canonical chain
head, metaphorically dying a slow node's death.
These configs can be changed on existing node databases (resyncing is
not necessary). LevelDB appears to work correctly with SSTable files of
different sizes. Note that the database does not undergo any sort of
migration when changing these configs. Only newly-written files (due to
new data or compaction) are affected by these configs.

* Regenerate docs
The Go authors updated golang/x/ext to change the function signature of the slices sort method.
It's an entire shitshow now because x/ext is not tagged, so everyone's codebase just
picked a new version that some other dep depends on, causing our code to fail building.
This PR updates the dep on our code too and does all the refactorings to follow upstream...
