19817: compile_and_test_for_boards: Add no-compile flag r=benpicco a=MrKevinWeiss
### Contribution description
Since we have a no-test flag that prevents executing tests, I think a no-compile flag is a nice compliment. Why? Well if I want to use this script for running multiple boards at the same time, RIOT is not so great handling parallel compile steps with conflicts on lockfiles happening, mostly due to packages. With this I can compile a list of boards sequentially, then flash and run tests in parallel, skipping the compile step.
### Testing procedure
Run the following once to compile and clean:
```
./dist/tools/compile_and_test_for_board/compile_and_test_for_board.py . native --applications tests/sys/shell --clean-after
```
Then try to run without the compile step and it should fail due to lack of the binary
```
./dist/tools/compile_and_test_for_board/compile_and_test_for_board.py . native --applications tests/sys/shell --no-compile
```

19826: ztimer/periodic: reinit remove from right clock and handle aquired ztimer r=benpicco a=kfessel
### Contribution description
#19806 added some retinit handling for ztimer periodic removing the timer from the new clock
This tries to detect if this is a reinit and remove the timer from the old clock
this also removes the ztimer_acquire/_release handling by removing now calls in favour of set return value and now values that are allready in ztimer,
that also has the potential to reduce the jitter of the periodic calls and bus-usage (for cpus that take their time to get "now")

19842: cpu/stm32: fix ld script for SRAM4 r=benpicco a=gschorcht
### Contribution description
This PR fixes the LD script for STM32.
Since the CCM and SRAM4 length are defined as symbols with perifx `_`, the LD script didn't use them correctly. Instead of using `ccmram_length` and `sram4_length`, `_ccmram_length` and `_sram4_length` have to be used. Furthermore, the location counter for the SRAM has to be set to the beginning of SRAM4 to work.
BTW, I don't understand why the `ccmram` region is defined. There is no section definition that would use it to place code or data with attribute `.ccmram.*` there.
Without the fix in this PR, defined symbols in `tests/sys/malloc` for the `b-u585i-iot02a` board were:
```python
00000000 T _sheap2 <== wrong start position because of wrong location counter
28000000 T _eheap2 <== wrong end position because of `sram4_length` is 0.
```
Although the `tests/sys/malloc` crashes for `b-u585i-iot02a` at the end of the heap (known problem, see [here](https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT/pull/17410#issuecomment-996556823)), it uses only the backup RAM before it crashes:

With the fix in this PR, defined symbols in `tests/sys/malloc` for the `b-u585i-iot02a` board are:
```python
28000000 T _sheap2 <== correct start position
28004000 T _eheap2 <== correct end position
```
`tests/sys/malloc` also crashes for the `b-u585i-iot02a` at the end of the heap, but it uses also the SRAM4 before it crashes.

```
### Testing procedure
1. Flash `tests/sys/malloc` and use `MAX_MEM` limit to stop `malloc` before the crash:
```
CFLAGS='-DMAX_MEM=774800 -DCHUNK_SIZE=512 -DDEBUG_ASSERT_VERBOSE' \
BOARD=b-u585i-iot02a make -j8 -C tests/sys/malloc flash
```
Without the PR it crashes at the end of the backup RAM. With the PR it works.
2. Check `_sheap2` and `_eheap2` with
```
nm -s tests/sys/malloc/bin/b-u585i-iot02a/tests_malloc.elf | grep heap2 | sort
```
Without the PR it will be:
```
00000000 T _sheap2
28000000 T _eheap2
```
With the PR it should be:
```
28000000 T _sheap2
28004000 T _eheap2
```

The sum of an `uint16_t` variable and a literal `1` should still be of
type `uin16_t`. And at least with LLVM 16 this seems to be the case,
but not with the LLVM version in our build container :/
So cast what should have been `uint16_t` anyway explicitly to `uint16_t`
to make that buggy version of LLVM happy.
The start/stop overhead that might by introduced by ztimer_acquire() and ztimer_release() called during ztimer_set() resp. ztimer_handler() should not be mesured here. It has its own adjustment field.
Furthermore, the overhead mesaurement uses ztimer_now(). It is allowed to called it only after the clock has been acquired.
This allows including C headers from C++. It sadly reduced the
diagnostics on C++ code as well, were there warning may make sense as
unintended side effect. We may be able to drop that later on, when more
C APIs are properly wrapped in native C++ APIs, so that C headers do no
longer need to be compatible with C++ compilers.
Nightlies are failing due to kconfig mismatch.
It would seem this is a result of bringing in the USB stuff.
I assume that this uses ztimer periph_timer as a backend as periph_timer is already selected.
However, kconfig only resolves one and not recursively making it hard to match.
For not a hack is added to override for these boards.
This adds a xtimer_no_ztimer_default that is currently always
selected in Makefile, but that can be switched off in Kconfig.
Removing its inclusion will allow switching the default xtimer
backend to ztimer, while allowing for an easy way back.
This is done to avoid circular dependency, it will currently allow for
ztimer64_xtimer_compat beeing selected as well as xtimer_on_ztimer.
This altough incorrect mimics make, and will be fixed when making
ztimer_xtimer_compat the default xtimer backend
Replace use of C11 atomics with atomic utils. This fixes

error when compiling on AVR with LLVM.
The sam0 rtt busy loops for 180us every time an alarm is set or
the counter is read, this propagates and leads to timing errors
on ztimer_msec that are higher than > +-1msec.
The same goes for fe310.
