The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only changes which logging function is used for error and fatal-condition messages across Bitcoin Core. It replaces generic LogPrintf calls with LogError (and one LogInfo) so that serious problems are more clearly marked in logs. There is no change to program logic, no bug fix, and no security vulnerability being patched.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal code-quality/logging improvement.
