eth, les, params: log chain config a bit saner (ethereum#24904)

Previously on Geth startup we just logged the chain config is a semi-json-y format. Whilst that worked while we had a handful of hard-forks defined, currently it's kind of unwieldy.

This PR converts that original data dump and converts it into a user friendly - alas multiline - log output.

Changed params/config.go, core/genesis.go for WEMIX.
