Minor performance improvements setting up intervention's log

- Initialize `log` temporary value on construction instead of doing
  default initialization and then calling `append`.
- Leverage `std::string_view` to replace `const std::string&` parameters
  in `utils::string::replaceAll` to avoid creating a `std::string`
  object (and associated allocation and copy) for the string literal`%d`
