Pull request description:

  Move `Pre-allocating up to position 0x[…] in […].dat` log message to debug category.

  After the cleanup of `-debug=net` log messages PR (#20724) was merged recently the console log now has very high signal to noise ratio. That's great! :)

  This PR increases the signal to noise ratio slightly more by moving the most common remaining implementation detail log message (`Pre-allocating up to position 0x[…] in […].dat`) to the debug category where it belongs :)

  Expected standard output from `bitcoind` (when in steady state) before this patch:

  I find the latter alternative much easier to visually scan for anomalies (and more aesthetically pleasing TBH!).

  Non-GUI users deserve nice interfaces too :)
