Every KUNIT_ASSERT/EXPECT() invocation puts a `kunit_assert` object onto
the stack. The most common one is `kunit_binary_assert` which is 88
bytes on UML. So in the cases where the compiler doesn't optimize this
away, we can very quickly blow up the stack size.

This series implements Linus' suggestion in [1].
Namely, we split out the file, line number, and assert_type
(EXPECT/ASSERT) out of kunit_assert.

We can also drop the entirely unused `struct kunit *test` field, saving
a bit more space as well.

All together, sizeof(struct kunit_assert) went from 48 to 24 on UML.
Note: the other assert types are bigger, see [2].

This series also adds in an example test that uses all the base
KUNIT_EXPECT macros to both advertise their existence to new users and
serve as a smoketest for all these changes here.

[1] https://groups.google.com/g/kunit-dev/c/i3fZXgvBrfA/m/VULQg1z6BAAJ
[2] e.g. consider the most commonly used assert (also the biggest)
  struct kunit_binary_assert {
          struct kunit_assert assert;
          const char *operation;
          const char *left_text;
          long long left_value;
          const char *right_text;
          long long right_value;
  };
So sizeof(struct kunit_binary_assert) = went from 88 to 64.
I.e. only a 27% reduction instead of 50% in the most common case.

All 3 of the `const char*` could be split out into a `static` var as well,
but that's a bit trickier to do with how all the macros are written.

=== Changelog ===
v1 -> v2:
* made the new example test more focused on documenting the macros
rather than using them all as a smoketest
* s/kunit_failed_assertion()/kunit_do_failed_assertion()
* added `unlikely()` to `if(!(pass))` check in KUNIT_ASSERTION()


Daniel Latypov (6):
  kunit: add example test case showing off all the expect macros
  kunit: move check if assertion passed into the macros
  kunit: drop unused kunit* field in kunit_assert
  kunit: factor out kunit_base_assert_format() call into kunit_fail()
  kunit: split out part of kunit_assert into a static const
  kunit: drop unused assert_type from kunit_assert and clean up macros
