we have three format()s in our arsenal:
* seastar::format()
* fmt::format()
* std::format()
the first one is used most frequently. but it has two limitations:
1. it returns seastar::sstring instead of std::string. under some
circumstances, the caller of the format() function actually
expects std::string, in that case a deep copy is performed to
construct an instance of std::string. this incurs unnecessary
performance overhead. but this limitation is a by-design behavior.
2. it does not do compile-time format check. this can be improved
at the Seastar's end.
to address these two problems, we switch the callers who expect
std::string to fmt::format(). to minimize the impact and to reduce
the risk, the switch will be performed piecemeal.
