enode.Node was recently changed to store a cache of endpoint information. The IP address in the cache is a netip.Addr. I chose that type over net.IP because it is just better. netip.Addr is meant to be used as a value type. Copying it does not allocate, it can be compared with ==, and can be used as a map key.
This PR changes most uses of Node.IP() into Node.IPAddr(), which returns the cached value directly without allocating.
While there are still some public APIs left where net.IP is used, I have converted all code used internally by p2p/discover to the new types. So this does change some public Go API, but hopefully not APIs any external code actually uses.
There weren't supposed to be any semantic differences resulting from this refactoring, however it does introduce one: In package p2p/netutil we treated the 0.0.0.0/8 network (addresses 0.x.y.z) as LAN, but netip.Addr.IsPrivate() doesn't. The treatment of this particular IP address range is controversial, with some software supporting it and others not. IANA lists it as special-purpose and invalid as a destination for a long time, so I don't know why I put it into the LAN list. It has now been marked as special in p2p/netutil as well.
Here we clean up internal uses of type discover.node, converting most code to use
enode.Node instead. The discover.node type used to be the canonical representation of
network hosts before ENR was introduced. Most code worked with *node to avoid conversions
when interacting with Table methods. Since *node also contains internal state of Table and
is a mutable type, using *node outside of Table code is prone to data races. It's also
cleaner not having to wrap/unwrap *enode.Node all the time.
discover.node has been renamed to tableNode to clarify its purpose.
While here, we also change most uses of net.UDPAddr into netip.AddrPort. While this is
technically a separate refactoring from the *node -> *enode.Node change, it is more
convenient because *enode.Node handles IP addresses as netip.Addr. The switch to package
netip in discovery would've happened very soon anyway.
The change to netip.AddrPort stops at certain interface points. For example, since package
p2p/netutil has not been converted to use netip.Addr yet, we still have to convert to
net.IP/net.UDPAddr in a few places.
It seems the semantic differences between addFoundNode and addInboundNode were lost in
#29572. My understanding is addFoundNode is for a node you have not contacted directly
(and are unsure if is available) whereas addInboundNode is for adding nodes that have
contacted the local node and we can verify they are active.
handleAddNode seems to be the consolidation of those two methods, yet it bumps the node in
the bucket (updating it's IP addr) even if the node was not an inbound. This PR fixes
this. It wasn't originally caught in tests like TestTable_addSeenNode because the
manipulation of the node object actually modified the node value used by the test.
New logic is added to reject non-inbound updates unless the sequence number of the
(signed) ENR increases. Inbound updates, which are published by the updated node itself,
are always accepted. If an inbound update changes the endpoint, the node will be
revalidated on an expedited schedule.

In #29572, I assumed the revalidation list that the node is contained in could only ever
be changed by the outcome of a revalidation request. But turns out that's not true: if the
node gets removed due to FINDNODE failure, it will also be removed from the list it is in.
This causes a crash.
The invariant is: while node is in table, it is always in exactly one of the two lists. So
it seems best to store a pointer to the current list within the node itself.
enode.Node has separate accessor functions for getting the IP, UDP port and TCP port.
These methods performed separate checks for attributes set in the ENR.
With this PR, the accessor methods will now return cached information, and the endpoint is
determined when the node is created. The logic to determine the preferred endpoint is now
more correct, and considers how 'global' each address is when both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
are present in the ENR.
Node discovery periodically revalidates the nodes in its table by sending PING, checking
if they are still alive. I recently noticed some issues with the implementation of this
process, which can cause strange results such as nodes dropping unexpectedly, certain
nodes not getting revalidated often enough, and bad results being returned to incoming
FINDNODE queries.
In this change, the revalidation process is improved with the following logic:
- We maintain two 'revalidation lists' containing the table nodes, named 'fast' and 'slow'.
- The process chooses random nodes from each list on a randomized interval, the interval being
faster for the 'fast' list, and performs revalidation for the chosen node.
- Whenever a node is newly inserted into the table, it goes into the 'fast' list.
Once validation passes, it transfers to the 'slow' list. If a request fails, or the
node changes endpoint, it transfers back into 'fast'.
- livenessChecks is incremented by one for successful checks. Unlike the old implementation,
we will not drop the node on the first failing check. We instead quickly decay the
livenessChecks give it another chance.
- Order of nodes in bucket doesn't matter anymore.
I am also adding a debug API endpoint to dump the node table content.

time.After is equivalent to NewTimer(d).C, and does not call Stop if the timer is no longer needed. This can cause memory leaks. This change changes many such occations to use NewTimer instead, and calling Stop once the timer is no longer needed.
Since Go 1.22 has deprecated certain elliptic curve operations, this PR removes
references to the affected functions and replaces them with a custom implementation
in package crypto. This causes backwards-incompatible changes in some places.

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)))
```

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.

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...
