Add best block indicator to informant message + print parent block on…

… import message (paritytech#4021)

Sometimes you need to debug some issues just by the logs and reconstruct
what happened.
In these scenarios it would be nice to know if a block was imported as
best block, and what it parent was.
So here I propose to change the output of the informant to this:

```
2024-04-05 20:38:22.004  INFO ⋮substrate: [Parachain] ✨ Imported #18 (0xe7b3…4555 -> 0xbd6f…ced7)

```

title: Improve log output for block imports

doc:
- audience: Node Operator
description: |
Nodes now print the parent hash on import notification log messages. In addition, the emoji
of the log message indicates whether the block was imported as best block or not. "🏆" is used for
best blocks, "🆕" for other imported blocks.
