This PR adds `DeleteRange` to `ethdb.KeyValueWriter`. While range
deletion using an iterator can be really slow, `DeleteRange` is natively
supported by pebble and apparently runs in O(1) time (typically 20-30ms
in my tests for removing hundreds of millions of keys and gigabytes of
data). For leveldb and memorydb an iterator based fallback is
implemented. Note that since the iterator method can be slow and a
database function should not unexpectedly block for a very long time,
the number of deleted keys is limited at 10000 which should ensure that
it does not block for more than a second. ErrTooManyKeys is returned if
the range has only been partially deleted. In this case the caller can
repeat the call until it finally succeeds.

cockroachdb/pebble@422dce9 added Errorf to the Logger interface, this change makes it possible to compile geth with that version of pebble by adding the corresponding method to panicLogger.
This is likely the culprit behind several data corruption issues, e.g. where data has been
written to the freezer, but the deletion from pebble does not go through due to process
crash.
One difference between pebble and leveldb is that the latter returns error when performing Get on a closed database, the former does a panic. This may be triggered during shutdown (see #27237)
This PR changes the pebble driver so we check that the db is not closed already, for several operations. It also adds tests to the db test-suite, so the previously implicit assumption of "not panic:ing at ops on closed database" is covered by tests.
* cmd/utils, node: switch to Pebble as the default db if none exists
* node: fall back to LevelDB on platforms not supporting Pebble
* core/rawdb, node: default to Pebble at the node level
* cmd/geth: fix some tests explicitly using leveldb
* ethdb/pebble: allow double closes, makes tests simpler
