b0344c219a logging: remove unused BCLog::UTIL (Vasil Dimov)
d3b3af9034 log: deduplicate category names and improve logging.cpp (Vasil Dimov)
Pull request description:
The code in `logging.cpp` needs to:
* Get the category name given the flag (e.g. `BCLog::PRUNE` -> `"prune"`)
* Get the flag given the category name (e.g. `"prune"` -> `BCLog::PRUNE`)
* Get the list of category names sorted in alphabetical order
Achieve this by using the proper std containers. The result is
* less code (the diff of the first commit is +62 / -129)
* faster code (to linear search and no copy+sort)
* more maintainable code (the categories are no longer duplicated in `LogCategories[]` and `LogCategoryToStr()`)
This behavior is preserved:
`BCLog::NONE` -> `""` (lookup by `LogCategoryToStr()`)
`""` -> `BCLog::ALL` (lookup by `GetLogCategory("")`)
---
Also remove unused `BCLog::UTIL`.

These changes (modulo the `BCLog::UTIL` removal) are part of https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29415 but they make sense on their own and would be good to have them, regardless of the fate of https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29415. Also, if this is merged, that would reduce the size of https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29415, thus the current standalone PR.

Code review ACK b0344c219a. Nice cleanup! Having to maintain multiple copies of the same mapping seemed messy and a like a possible footgun. I checked old and new mappings in both directions and confirmed no behavior should be changing.
