perf: 6 performance optimizations for STM32WB55 (Cortex-M4 @ 64MHz)

[WonderMr]

10 safe performance optimizations for STM32WB55 (Cortex-M4 @ 64MHz) + 1 Bugfix

Compiler & build:

1. -Og → -Os for release builds — enables most -O2 passes: function inlining, dead code elimination, loop optimization, aggressive register allocation, tail call optimization, and common subexpression elimination (site_scons/firmwareopts.scons)

Memory management (correctness + perf):
2. Disable heap memset on free() in release — configHEAP_CLEAR_MEMORY_ON_FREE is now conditional on FURI_DEBUG. Saves ~500+ memset calls/sec during active GUI/protocol work (FreeRTOSConfig.h)
3. Fix calloc() to explicitly zero memory — with heap-clear disabled in release, calloc() now does its own memset(0) to guarantee zero-initialized returns (memmgr.c)
4. Fix realloc() to copy min(old_size, new_size) bytes — original copied size (new) bytes, reading past old allocation when growing. Added memmgr_heap_get_block_size() that reads usable size from Heap_4 BlockLink_t header. Also added heapVALIDATE_BLOCK_POINTER to the new public memmgr_heap_get_block_size() for parity with vPortFree().

Branch prediction:
5. __builtin_expect hints on furi_check/assert/break — crash code moves to end of function, hot path becomes fall-through (0 pipeline penalty on Cortex-M4 3-stage pipeline). Affects ~2300+ call sites across the firmware (check.h)

DMA:
6. SPI TX via DMA with RX drain — furi_hal_spi_bus_tx() now delegates to DMA when scheduler is running, freeing the CPU during display updates (~1KB/frame @ 20fps) and radio TX. TX-only path sets up RX DMA channel draining into a dummy byte to prevent OVR accumulation. Polling fallback preserved for pre-scheduler context (furi_hal_spi.c)
Also fixes a pre-existing race in the cleanup path: LL_DMA_DisableIT_TC was issued after furi_semaphore_release, allowing a late ISR to crash furi_check on a double-release. Now disables TC IRQ and clears TC flag before releasing the semaphore

Hot function inlining:
7. attribute((flatten)) on furi_get_tick() — forces inlining of FreeRTOS wrappers at call sites (kernel.c)
8. attribute((flatten)) on hot thread functions — applied to furi_thread_get_current_id(), furi_thread_get_current(), furi_thread_flags_get() (thread.c)

String formatting:
9. In-place vprintf for furi_string_cat_vprintf() — formats directly into destination buffer at current offset, growing only if needed. Eliminates temporary FuriString allocation (malloc + format + memcpy + free) per call (string.c)

Power:
10. Reduce configEXPECTED_IDLE_TIME_BEFORE_SLEEP from 4 to 2 ticks — allows FreeRTOS tickless idle to enter STOP mode more aggressively (2ms threshold instead of 4ms). Reduces average power consumption (FreeRTOSConfig.h)

Bugfix:
11. Fix DMA timeout race in furi_hal_spi_bus_trx_dma() - on timeout the cleanup released spi_dma_completed while LL_DMA_DisableIT_TC was issued after. A late or pending DMA completion ISR would then call furi_semaphore_release() on an already-full binary semaphore and crash furi_check. Disabled the TC IRQ and cleared the pending TC flag before releasing the semaphore (spi_dma_isr gates its release on LL_DMA_IsEnabledIT_TC).

Also: strncpy → strlcpy in subghz_scene_save_name.c (-Os exposed -Werror=stringop-truncation warning).
