Slog based logging

[Exca-DK]

closes #1164, part of #1198

The target is 1:1 of old formatting. Not possible with standard slog handlers

Thank you for your effort there @Exca-DK. I don't think it's necessary to match the old format.

If we could get away with using slog defaults and remove everything but the interface (and possibly no-op implementation) from utils/log.go, that would be amazing.

If we want to go with defaults then we will also need to remove the colors flag since slog doesn't support it.

Thanks for pointing that out. It appears zap is implementing its own slog handlers. Shall we continue using zap's nice features and let it handle the slog migration? cc @IronGauntlets

Sounds good. We can close the #1164.

Closing since the issue is closed too.
