util: Add abort_with_msg() and ASSERT_WITH_MSG() helpers

We already have the ASSERT() macro which will abort() passt based on a
condition.  It always has a fixed error message based on its location and
the asserted expression.  We have some upcoming cases where we want to
customise the message when hitting an assert.

Add abort_with_msg() and ASSERT_WITH_MSG() helpers to allow this.
