This adds a layer of convenience abstraction over classical Harvard
architectures (like most AVRs) that do not map the flash memory into
the data address space and modern Harvard architectures or von-Neumann
architectures that do so. The motivation is to safe a lot of RAM for
AVR by storing constant strings into flash.
The macros CONCAT(), MIN(), and MAX() are defined over and over again in
RIOT's code base. This de-duplicates the code by moving the macros to a
common place.
In 04ab5a74f3 a bug was introduced in
the calculation of the GPIO port address by refactoring code. This
fixes the issue by extracting the GPIO port first from the pin.
Our AVR port doesn't make use of an ISR stack and just victimizes the
stack of whatever thread happens to be running, which in most cases is
the idle thread. Hence, the idle stack has to be large enough to
support the ztimer ISR.
core_panic() doesn't expect the message to be in program memory, but
in data memory. Bad things will happen on AVR when the address is
interpreted as being in data address space, but the allocation is
done in program address space.
The RTT overflow callback is not available on all RTT implementations.
This means it is either a no-op or `rtt_set_overflow_cb()` is a no-op
or it will overwrite the alarm set with `rtt_set_alarm()`.
This adds a feature to indicate that proper overflow reporting is available.
Current there is no way to split code between ATmega and ATxmega in
drivers. This differentiate AVR8 cores into MEGAs and XMEGAs.

Some periph_rtt implementations do not provide `rtt_set_counter()`. This
adds `periph_rtt_set_counter` as feature to allow testing for its
availability. The feature is provided at CPU level if periph_rtt is
provided by the board for all CPUs implementing `rtt_set_counter()`.

Split atmega_common code into avr8_common folder. This moves common
avr8 code to be used for all avr8 variants: tiny, mega and xmega.

Split cpu.c file into cpu.c and atmega_cpu.c files. This extract mega
specific code from common code.

The module cpu_atmega_common_cxx seems to be non-existing and not used. It is
unclear whether this slipped in by accident or if this was actually useful at
some point in time. In any case, the module is not present (anymore) and cannot
be used, so let's clean up the Makefile.
Split out Gunar Schorcht's clever approach to provide thread safe malloc for
AVR into a system module and make AVR depend on this. This allows other
platforms to also use this.
