Create BCLog::Level::Trace log severity level
for verbose log messages for development or debugging only, as bitcoind may run more slowly, that are more granular/frequent than the Debug log level, i.e. for very high-frequency, low-level messages to be logged distinctly from higher-level, less-frequent debug logging that could still be usable in production. An example would be to log higher-level peer events (connection, disconnection, misbehavior, eviction) as Debug, versus Trace for low-level, high-volume p2p messages in the BCLog::NET category. This will enable the user to log only the former without the latter, in order to focus on high-level peer management events. With respect to the name, "trace" is suggested as the most granular level in resources like the following: - https://sematext.com/blog/logging-levels - https://howtodoinjava.com/log4j2/logging-levels Update the test framework and add test coverage.
