Addresses #17134

Added a friendly ASCII art welcome banner that displays when op-up starts up, before any logs are shown.

Now the art is as same as the #17134,
But here are a few style options for the banner - happy to adjust based on feedback:

Option 1 (Current implementation):

func showWelcomeBanner() {
	fmt.Println("###################################")
	fmt.Println("             Welcome to")
	fmt.Println("   ___  _ __        _   _ _ __  ")
	fmt.Println("  / _ \\| '_ \\ _____| | | | '_ \\ ")
	fmt.Println(" | (_) | |_) |_____| |_| | |_) |")
	fmt.Println("  \\___/| .__/       \\__,_| .__/ ")
	fmt.Println("       |_|               |_|   ")
	fmt.Println("")
	fmt.Println("    Your local OP Stack chain")
	fmt.Println("")
	fmt.Println("###################################")
	fmt.Println("")
}

Option 2 (3D style):

func showWelcomeBanner() {
	fmt.Println(" ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄")
	fmt.Println("█                                           █")
	fmt.Println("█  ██████  ██████        ██    ██ ██████   █")
	fmt.Println("█ ██    ██ ██   ██       ██    ██ ██   ██  █")
	fmt.Println("█ ██    ██ ██████  █████ ██    ██ ██████   █")
	fmt.Println("█ ██    ██ ██            ██    ██ ██       █")
	fmt.Println("█  ██████  ██             ██████  ██       █")
	fmt.Println("█                                           █")
	fmt.Println("█     🚀 OPTIMISM STACK CHAIN READY 🚀      █")
	fmt.Println("█                                           █")
	fmt.Println("█         Building the future of L2         █")
	fmt.Println("█                                           █")
	fmt.Println(" ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀")
	fmt.Println("")
}

Option 3 (Star Wars style):

func showWelcomeBanner() {
	fmt.Println("    .  *  .  *  .  *  .  *  .  *  .")
	fmt.Println("  *                               *")
	fmt.Println(".        A long time ago in a        .")
	fmt.Println("*         galaxy far, far away...    *")
	fmt.Println(".                                   .")
	fmt.Println("*   ___  _ __        _   _ _ __      *")
	fmt.Println(".  / _ \\| '_ \\ _____| | | | '_ \\     .")
	fmt.Println("* | (_) | |_) |_____| |_| | |_) |    *")
	fmt.Println(".  \\___/| .__/       \\__,_| .__/     .")
	fmt.Println("*       |_|               |_|        *")
	fmt.Println(".                                   .")
	fmt.Println("*     The Optimism Stack awakens    *")
	fmt.Println(".                                   .")
	fmt.Println("  *     May the L2 be with you     *")
	fmt.Println("    .  *  .  *  .  *  .  *  .  *  .")
	fmt.Println("")
}

Option 4 (Space station style):

func showWelcomeBanner() {
	fmt.Println("        🌟    ✨      🌟        ✨")
	fmt.Println("             ╔═══════════╗")
	fmt.Println("        ✨   ║  SPACE    ║   🌟")
	fmt.Println("      ╔══════╬═══════════╬══════╗")
	fmt.Println("      ║      ║  STATION  ║      ║")
	fmt.Println("      ║  ___  _ __   _   _ _ __  ║")
	fmt.Println("      ║ / _ \\| '_ \\ | | | | '_ \\ ║")
	fmt.Println("      ║| (_) | |_) || |_| | |_) |║")
	fmt.Println("      ║ \\___/| .__/  \\__,_| .__/ ║")
	fmt.Println("      ║      |_|          |_|   ║")
	fmt.Println("      ╚══════╬═══════════╬══════╝")
	fmt.Println("             ║  OP-UP    ║")
	fmt.Println("        🌟   ╚═══════════╝   ✨")
	fmt.Println("             ")
	fmt.Println("    🛸 Houston, we have OP Stack! 🛸")
	fmt.Println("        Mission: Layer 2 Optimization")
	fmt.Println("")
}

Option 5 (Racing style):

func showWelcomeBanner() {
	fmt.Println("    🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁")
	fmt.Println("    ")
	fmt.Println("           💨💨💨 VROOOOM! 💨💨💨")
	fmt.Println("    ")
	fmt.Println("    ╔═══════════════════════════════════╗")
	fmt.Println("    ║  ___  _ __        _   _ _ __       ║")
	fmt.Println("    ║ / _ \\| '_ \\ _____| | | | '_ \\      ║")
	fmt.Println("    ║| (_) | |_) |_____| |_| | |_) |     ║")
	fmt.Println("    ║ \\___/| .__/       \\__,_| .__/      ║")
	fmt.Println("    ║      |_|               |_|         ║")
	fmt.Println("    ╚═══════════════════════════════════╝")
	fmt.Println("    ")
	fmt.Println("    🏎️ RACING TO LAYER 2 AT LIGHT SPEED!")
	fmt.Println("    ")
	fmt.Println("    ⏱️  LAP TIME: INSTANT")
	fmt.Println("    🏆 POSITION: #1 IN OPTIMIZATION")
	fmt.Println("    🔥 TURBO MODE: ACTIVATED")
	fmt.Println("    ")
	fmt.Println("    🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁")
	fmt.Println("")
}

Let me know which style you prefer and I can update the implementation!
