Context
The new accounting options introduced in #32582 can be quite heavy, and are not needed when debug logging is disabled.
Problem
PartiallyDownloadedBlock::FillBlock() and PeerManagerImpl::SendBlockTransactions() accumulate transaction sizes for debug logging by calling ComputeTotalSize() in loops, which invokes expensive GetSerializeSize() serializations.
The block header hash is also only computed for the debug log.
Fixes
Guard the size and hash calculations with LogAcceptCategory() checks so the serialization and hashing work only occurs when compact block debug logging is enabled.
Also modernized the surrounding code a bit since the change is quite trivial.
Reproducer
You can test the change by starting an up-to-date bitcoind node with -debug=cmpctblock and observing compact block log lines such as:
[cmpctblock] Successfully reconstructed block 00000000000000000001061eaa6c0fe79258e7f79606e67ac495765cb121a520 with 1 txn prefilled, 3122 txn from mempool (incl at least 3 from extra pool) and 641 txn (352126 bytes) requested
