fix: better `$inspect.trace()` output (#16131)

* remove code thatcan't be reached and would error if it could

* tidy up types, fix duplication

* this seems needless

* better naming

* tidy up

* reorder

* this code doesn't appear to do anything useful, and no tests fail without it

* unused

* WIP

* revert part of #14811. it makes no sense to show the initial value, it just makes things inconsistent with deriveds. personally i find it more confusing anyway

* explanatory comment on both sides

* make things a bit more self-explanatory

* simplify

* missing type

* only log UpdatedAt for dirty signals

* changeset

* lint

* Revert "unused"

This reverts commit a95b625800.

* complete revert

* ok it works now
