assumevalid: log every script validation state change

The `-assumevalid` option skips script verification for a specified block and all its ancestors during Initial Block Download.
Many new users are surprised when this suddenly slows their node to a halt.
This commit adds a log message to clearly indicate when this optimization ends and full validation begins (and vice versa).

When using `-assumeutxo`, logging is suppressed for the active assumed-valid chainstate and for the background validation chainstate to avoid the confusing toggles.
