before this change, we rely on `using namespace seastar` to use
`seastar::format()` without qualifying the `format()` with its
namespace. this works fine until we changed the parameter type
of format string `seastar::format()` from `const char*` to
`fmt::format_string<...>`. this change practically invited
`seastar::format()` to the club of `std::format()` and `fmt::format()`,
where all members accept a templated parameter as its `fmt`
parameter. and `seastar::format()` is not the best candidate anymore.
despite that argument-dependent lookup (ADT for short) favors the
function which is in the same namespace as its parameter, but
`using namespace` makes `seastar::format()` more competitive,
so both `std::format()` and `seastar::format()` are considered
as the condidates.
that is what is happening scylladb in quite a few caller sites of
`format()`, hence ADT is not able to tell which function the winner
in the name lookup:

```
in this change, we
change all `format()` to either `fmt::format()` or `seastar::format()`
with following rules:
- if the caller expects an `sstring` or `std::string_view`, change to
`seastar::format()`
- if the caller expects an `std::string`, change to `fmt::format()`.
because, `sstring::operator std::basic_string` would incur a deep
copy.
we will need another change to enable scylladb to compile with the
latest seastar. namely, to pass the format string as a templated
parameter down to helper functions which format their parameters.
to miminize the scope of this change, let's include that change when
bumping up the seastar submodule. as that change will depend on
the seastar change.

this is a part of a series to migrating from `operator<<(ostream&, ..)`
based formatting to fmtlib based formatting. the goal here is to enable
fmtlib to print `function_name` without the help of `operator<<`.
the corresponding `operator<<()` are dropped dropped in this change,
as all its callers are now using fmtlib for formatting now.

Now that stateless_aggregate_function is directly exposed by
aggregate_function, we can use it directly, avoiding the intermediary
aggregate_function::aggregate, which is removed.
Now that all aggregate functions are derived from
stateless_aggregate_function_adapter, we can just fold its functionality
into the base class. This exposes stateless_aggregate_function to
all users of aggregate_function, so they can begin to benefit from
the transformation, though this patch doesn't touch those users.
The aggregate_function base class is partiallly devirtualized since
there is just a single implementation now.
Currently, aggregate functions are implemented in a statefull manner.
The accumulator is stored internally in an aggregate_function::aggregate,
requiring each query to instantiate new instances (see
aggregate_function_selector's constructor, and note how it's called
from selector::new_instance()).
This makes aggregates hard to use in expressions, since expressions
are stateless (with state only provided to evaluate()). To facilitate
migration towards stateless expressions, we define a
stateless_aggregate_function (modelled after user-defined aggregates,
which are already stateless). This new struct defines the aggregate
in terms of three scalar functions: one to aggregate a new input into
an accumulator (provided in the first parameter), one to finalize an
accumulator into a result, and one to reduce two accumulators for
parallelized aggregation.
An adapter of the new struct to the aggregate_function interface is
also provided, to allow for incremental migration in the following
patches.
