Seoul Stabilisation Snapshot

What

This MR snapshots Seoul as tentative Protocol 23.

⚠️ This protocol is still in stabilisation and should not be proposed until stabilisation period succeeded.

We are trying a new approach with a pre-snapshotted protocol in our repository to avoid renaming and other complexities in particular in tests and documentation during the 'stabilisation to snapshot' step.
However, as you can see in the commit history of this MR, scripts/proto_manager.sh is not (yet) able to handle this directly so we have to first stabilise into seoul and then snapshot into PtSEouLo.
We plan to improve this for proto T.

Seoul changes are described in docs/protocols/023_s023.rst.

Manually testing the MR

make
 ./src/bin_node/octez-sandboxed-node.sh 1 --connections 0 

in a second terminal

eval `./src/bin_client/octez-init-sandboxed-client.sh 1`
octez-activate-023-PtSEouLo

Then, test whatever you want in a sandbox node running the Seoul protocol.
