All TraceFlags are now configured in `src/core/lib/debug/trace_flags.yaml`. The format is:
```
my_flag:
default: false # the default value; default=false
description: Some Description
debug_only: false # debug_only flags only work in debug builds; default=false
internal: false # internal flags will not show up in documentation; default=false
```
To regenerate the trace flag source code, run `tools/codegen/core/gen_trace_flags.py` (requires mako). This script is also run when sanity checking.
This PR also adds two new features:
### Glob-based flag configuration
Trace flag configuration now supports `?` (single wildcard character) and `*` (one or more wildcard characters). For example, using `GRPC_TRACE='event_engine*'` will enable all flags that match that glob. It expands to:
* event_engine
* event_engine_client_channel_resolver
* event_engine_dns
* event_engine_endpoint
* event_engine_endpoint_data
* event_engine_poller
### A cleaner trace-logging macro in abseil logging format
If your goal is only to add log statements when the `fault_injection_filter` trace flag is enabled, you can use the macro:
```
GRPC_TRACE_LOG(fault_injection, INFO) << "Filtered:" << 42;
```
When the trace flag is enabled, the the log will show something like this:
```
I0000 00:00:1715733657.430042 16 file.cc:174] Filtered:42
```

Note: just like with the gpr_log to abseil logging conversion, the pre-existing trace logging usages can be replaced with the new tracing macro across multiple PRs.

[grpc][Gpr_To_Absl_Logging] Migrating from gpr to absl logging - gpr_log
In this CL we are migrating from gRPCs own gpr logging mechanism to absl logging mechanism. The intention is to deprecate gpr_log in the future.
We have the following mapping
1. gpr_log(GPR_INFO,...) -> LOG(INFO)
2. gpr_log(GPR_ERROR,...) -> LOG(ERROR)
3. gpr_log(GPR_DEBUG,...) -> VLOG(2)
Reviewers need to check :
1. If the above mapping is correct.
2. The content of the log is as before.
gpr_log format strings did not use string_view or std::string . absl LOG accepts these. So there will be some elimination of string_view and std::string related conversions. This is expected.
Closes#36694

[grpc][Gpr_To_Absl_Logging] Migrating from gpr to absl logging GPR_ASSERT
Replacing GPR_ASSERT with absl CHECK
These changes have been made using string replacement and regex.
Will not be replacing all instances of CHECK with CHECK_EQ , CHECK_NE etc because there are too many callsites. Only ones which are doable using very simple regex with least chance of failure will be replaced.
Given that we have 5000+ instances of GPR_ASSERT to edit, Doing it manually is too much work for both the author and reviewer.

When an error occurs in `TrySeq`, log the error.
Also, in the trace statements, capture the file/line that the sequence was constructed at, and log that with the traces.

Our current implementation of `Seq`, `TrySeq` leverage some complicated
template stuff to work, which makes them hard to maintain. I've been
thinking about ways to simplify that for some time and had something
like this in mind - using a code generator that's at least a little more
understandable to code generate most of the complexity into a file that
is checkable.
Concurrently - I have a cool optimization in mind - but it requires that
we can move promises after polling, which is a contract change. I'm
going to work through the set of primitives we have in the coming weeks
and change that contract to enable the optimization.
