Here we add a beacon chain light client for use by geth.
Geth can now be configured to run against a beacon chain API endpoint,
without pointing a CL to it. To set this up, use the `--beacon.api` flag. Information
provided by the beacon chain is verified, i.e. geth does not blindly trust the beacon
API endpoint in this mode. The root of trust are the beacon chain 'sync committees'.
The configured beacon API endpoint must provide light client data. At this time, only
Lodestar and Nimbus provide the necessary APIs.
There is also a standalone tool, cmd/blsync, which uses the beacon chain light client
to drive any EL implementation via its engine API.

When managing geth, it is sometimes desirable to do a partial wipe; deleting state but retaining freezer data. A partial wipe can be somewhat tricky to accomplish.
This change implements the ability to perform partial wipe by making it possible to run geth removedb non-interactive, using command line options instead.
Original problem was caused by #28595, where we made it so that as soon as we start to sync, the root of the disk layer is deleted. That is not wrong per se, but another part of the code uses the "presence of the root" as an init-check for the pathdb. And, since the init-check now failed, the code tried to re-initialize it which failed since a sync was already ongoing.
The total impact being: after a state-sync has begun, if the node for some reason is is shut down, it will refuse to start up again, with the error message: `Fatal: Failed to register the Ethereum service: waiting for sync.`.
This change also modifies how `geth removedb` works, so that the user is prompted for two things: `state data` and `ancient chain`. The former includes both the chaindb aswell as any state history stored in ancients.

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)
```
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)))
```

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.
* cmd, les, tests: remove light client code
This commit removes the light client (LES) code.
Since the merge the light client has been broken and
it is hard to maintain it alongside the normal client.
We decided it would be best to remove it for now and
maybe rework and reintroduce it in the future.
* cmd, eth: remove some more mentions of light mode
* cmd: re-add flags and mark as deprecated
* cmd: warn the user about deprecated flags
* eth: better error message
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.
This change allows the creation of a genesis block for verkle testnets. This makes for a chunk of code that is easier to review and still touches many discussion points.
* 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
a little copying is better than a little dependency
-- go proverb
We have this dependency on docker, a.k.a moby: a gigantic library, and we only need ~70 LOC,
so here I tried moving it inline instead.

This PR is a bit in preparation for the slog work in #28187 .
Our current test re logging mostly test the internals, but we have no real end-to-end test of the logging output. This PR introduces a simple reexec-based log tester. This also relies upon a special mode in geth, which can be made to eject a set of predefined log messages (only available if the build-tag `integrationtests` is used
e.g. go run --tags=integrationtests ./cmd/geth --log.format terminal logtest
While working on this, I also noticed a quirk in the setup: when geth was configured to use a file output, then two separate handlers were used (one handler for the file, one handler for the console). Using two separate handlers means that two formatters are used, thus the formatting of any/all records happened twice. This PR changes the mechanism to use two separate io.Writers instead, which is both more optimal and fixes a bug which occurs due to a global statefulness in the formatter.
* cmd, core: resolve scheme from a read-write database
* cmd, core, eth: move the scheme check in the ethereum constructor
* cmd/geth: dump should in ro mode
* cmd: reverts
This updates minisign to the latest version. One new thing is that minisign (not go-minisign) has started to prehash the file, and in order to make geth pass the version-check, we need to sign the file in legacy-mode.
This chang creates a GaugeInfo metrics type for registering informational (textual) metrics, e.g. geth version number. It also improves the testing for backend-exporters, and uses a shared subpackage in 'internal' to provide sample datasets and ordered registry.
Implements #21783

This change removes PoW header syncing related code from LES and also deletes
duplicated packages les/catalyst, les/downloader and les/fetcher. These package copies
were created because people wanted to make changes in their eth/ counterparts, but weren't
able to adapt LES code to the API changes.
It is usually best to set GOMAXPROCS to the number of available CPU cores. However, setting
it like that does not work well when the process is quota-limited to a certain number of CPUs.
The automaxprocs library configures GOMAXPROCS, taking such limits into account.
This simplifies the code that initializes the discovery a bit, and
adds new flags for enabling/disabling discv4 and discv5 separately.
