Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#22736: log, sync: change lock contention from preprocessor directive to log category

7e69873283 sync: remove DEBUG_LOCKCONTENTION preprocessor directives (Jon Atack)
9b08006bc5 log, sync: improve lock contention logging and add time duration (Jon Atack)
3f4c6b87f1 log, timer: add timing macro in usec LOG_TIME_MICROS_WITH_CATEGORY (Jon Atack)
b7a17444e0 log, sync: add LOCK logging category, apply it to lock contention (Jon Atack)

Pull request description:

  To enable lock contention logging, `DEBUG_LOCKCONTENTION` has to be defined at compilation. Once built, the logging is not limited to a category and is high frequency, verbose and in all-caps. With these factors combined, it seems likely to be rarely used.

  This patch:
  - adds a `lock` logging category
  - adds a timing macro in microseconds, `LOG_TIME_MICROS_WITH_CATEGORY`
  - updates `BCLog::LogMsg()` to omit irrelevant decimals for microseconds and skip unneeded code and math
  - improves the lock contention logging, drops the all-caps, and displays the duration in microseconds
  - removes the conditional compilation directives
  - allows lock contentions to be logged on startup with `-debug=lock` or at run time with `bitcoin-cli logging '["lock"]'`

  ```

  $ bitcoin-cli -signet logging
    "lock": true,

  $ bitcoin-cli -signet logging [] '["lock"]'
    "lock": false,

  $ bitcoin-cli -signet logging '["lock"]'
    "lock": true,
  ```

  I've tested this with Clang 13 and GCC 10.2.1, on Debian, with and without `--enable-debug`.
