19175: drivers/periph_common/flashpage: fix silent error r=benpicco a=Enoch247
### Contribution description
This patch removes a test that silently hides failed writes to NULL. Instead, assert is used to ensure that the address is not NULL.
### Testing procedure
I am not certain how to update the tests to catch asserts. If this is possible, I will add a test, if someone will point me to a good example to learn from.

19156: core/compiler_hints: add likely() / unlikely() hints r=kfessel a=benpicco
19174: tests/periph_spi clearly say when init succeeds r=benpicco a=jdavid
When the `tests/periph_spi` program succeeds the output can be interpreted as an error happened.
This PR makes it clearer when it does succeed.
### Contribution description
In `tests/periph_spi`:
- Explicitely say that the init operation was successful
- Rephrase the note to avoid misinterpretations
### Testing procedure
Run the `tests/periph_spi` program.
There is not much to test, just to verify the output, should be like this:
```
2023-01-19 10:42:33,768 # Trying to initialize SPI_DEV(1): mode: 0, clk: 0, cs_port: 0, cs_pin: 0
2023-01-19 10:42:33,777 # (if below the program crashes with a failed assertion, then it means the configuration is not supported)
2023-01-19 10:42:33,779 # Success.
```

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.
Presently, RIOT just emits a warning when a stack overflow is
encountered but still resumes execution. In my view, execution should be
aborted as the detection of a stack overflows via the heuristic provided
by the scheduler is an unrecoverable error.
I ran into this while performing automated tests of a RIOT application
where a stack overflow occurred but I only noticed this after inspecting
the application output more closely.
Similar to SSP failures, I added crash_code for stack overflows.
Use `uintptr_t` for arithmetic rather than `const char *` to fix the
following warning:
