Two new benchmarks here-in.
Benchmark 1: `bm_picker`
------
Measures various load balancing policies pick performance. For now we cover `pick_first` and `weighted_round_robin` at 1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, and 100000 backends.
Today's output:
```

BM_Pick/weighted_round_robin/100000 148 ns 148 ns 9882
```
Benchmark 2: `bm_load_balanced_call_destination`
-----
This benchmark measures call performance when a call spine passes through a `LoadBalancedCallDestination`, and with `BM_LoadBalancedCallDestination` also the construction/destruction cost of this object.
We do not consider picker performance in this benchmark as it's separately covered by `bm_picker` above.
Today's output:
```

Notes
------
There's some duplicated code between the benchmarks & tests -- this is ok -- as the tests evolve we'll likely want to add more checks to the fixtures, whereas as the benchmarks evolve we may well want to optimize the fixtures so that performance of the systems under test dominate more. That is, the duplicated code is expected to have different evolutionary tracks.
Closes#37052

PiperOrigin-RevId: 658181731
- add a benchmark for various metadata creation styles
- add factory functions for status + message - these are 3-10x faster than going via absl::Status
- add a `MakePooledForOverwrite` function to Arena, use it everywhere -- this naming matches `std::make_unique_for_overwrite` in C++20, and avoids some language mandated initialization in `Table` (underlying `MetadataMap<>`) - speeding creation of metadata handles by 30%

PiperOrigin-RevId: 652900726
Instead of passing the transport byte counts back up through the filter
stack to be reported to the `CallTracer`, we now have the transport
pass the transport byte counts directly to the `CallTracer` itself.
This will eventually allow us to avoid unnecessarily storing these byte
counts in cases where no `CallTracer` actually cares about the data, which
will reduce per-call memory. (In the short term, it actually increases
memory usage, but we can separately do some work to avoid the memory
usage in the transport by removing the `grpc_transport_stream_stats`
struct from the legacy filter API.)
This is a prereq for supporting `CallTracer` in the new call v3 stack,
which does not include the transport byte counts as part of the
receieve-trailing-metadata hook, unlike the legacy filter stack.
This change is controlled by the `call_tracer_in_transport` experiment,
which is enabled by default.
As part of this experiment, we also fix a couple of related bugs:
- On the client side, the chttp2 transport was incorrectly adding
annotations to the parent `ClientCallTracer` instead of the
`CallAttemptTracer`.
- The OpenCensus `ServerCallTracer` was incorrectly swapping the values
of sent and received bytes.

Move event engine context to be an arena based context, and have party host arena directly.
Now `Party` can directly inject all context necessary without needing to call out to the derived type; this makes `Party` instantiable by itself (no need to inherit from it - though we'll still want to for `CallSpine` to simplify some arena lifetime management), meaning we can start to consider eliminating the base class `Activity` and merging these types.

Allow `CallFilters` to have more than one `CallFilters::Stack` attached to it, and execute all of the stacks when executing.
This permits a trivial implementation of `PassThrough` for `Interceptor`, and allows elimination of an inserted `ForwardCall` if an interception chain terminates in a `CallDestination` preceded by one or more filters.
Built on #36984 which should be merged first.

Originally when I was implementing call-v3 I added async handling for server trailing metadata because it was symmetrical with all the other handling we had. Turns out that we really don't need this, and further it's probably harmful to our ability to reason about the stack - so I'm removing that capability.

As we've learned what configuration is needed for our benchmarks the settings have been growing more and more bespoke for each binary. Try to consolidate that into some useful defaults.
Also ensure we always `linkstatic=1`. `cc_binary` defaults to this, so it's reasonable to assume that's the performance our customers see. It also deeply impacts performance for small microbenchmarks, and so enabling it gives us more apples:apples, and saves chasing things that don't matter.

Previously, metadata mutations were made by the picker directly, which meant that they would be applied even if the channel winds up discarding the pick due to the returned subchannel having been disconnected by the time the pick result is returned. This changes the API such that pickers return metadata mutations along with the pick result, so that the mutations won't get applied unless the pick result is actually used.

In the client fuzzer, some valid fuzzing scenarios would close the transport (thus deleting the endpoint), while the fuzzer mechanics still attempted to read/write to that endpoint. There was an inherent ownership problem, where both the transport and the fuzzer logic expected to own the endpoint lifetime.
This PR ensures that the transport owns the endpoint, and the fuzzer logic owns an object that can write to some shared endpoint state. This shared object can outlive the endpoint.

- use `SliceBuffer` instead of `grpc_slice_buffer`
- use `absl::Status` instead of `grpc_error_handle`
- use `absl::string_view` instead of `const char*` for handshaker names
Also pass acceptor via `HandshakerArgs` instead of as a separate parameter.
Also changed chttp2 and httpcli to use `OrphanablePtr<>` for the endpoint.

This change brings up the direct channel, and inproc promise based transports.
This work exposed a bug that was very difficult to fix with the current call_filters.cc implementation, so I've substantially revamped that - instead of having a pipe-like object per call element, we now have a big ol' combined state machine for the entire call. It's a touch more code, but substantially easier to reason about individual cases, so I much prefer this form (it's also a slight memory improvement: 12 bytes total to track call state, and 10 of those are wakeup bitmasks...).

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.

Make `Arena` be a refcounted object.
Solves a bunch of issues: our stack right now needs a very complicated dance between transport and surface to destroy a call, but with this scheme we can just hold a ref to what we need in each place and everything works out.
Removes some `ifdef`'d out code that had been sitting dormant for a year or two also -- I'd left it in as a hedge against it being maybe a bad idea, but it looks like it's not needed.

Implements https://github.com/grpc/proposal/pull/429
Currently, the behavior of `GRPC_ARG_HTTP2_MAX_PINGS_WITHOUT_DATA` blocks more pings from being sent if we are sending too many pings without a data/header frame being sent as well. The original intention of this channel arg was to play nice with proxies that have restrictive settings when it comes to pings. This causes awkwardness when configuring keepalive pings for transports with long lived streams with sparse communication. In such a case, gRPC Core would stop sending keepalive pings since no data/header frame is being sent, resulting in a situation where we are unable to detect whether the transport is alive or not.
This change adds an experiment "max_pings_wo_data_throttle" to modify the behavior of `GRPC_ARG_HTTP2_MAX_PINGS_WITHOUT_DATA` to throttle pings to a frequency of 1 minute instead of completely blocking pings when too many pings have been sent without data/header frames.

Introduce "Yodel" - a framework for testing things vaguely related to calls.
This is breaking up some work I did for transport test suites - we've got a nice way of spawning test-only promises and tracking them visually, and support for setting up an environment that can run as a test or a fuzzer. I'm making that piece a little more reusable, and then rebasing the transport test suite atop that infrastructure.

[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.

These changes have been made using string replacement and regex.
