Aim

Trying to write an Option::expect method:

fn expect<N>(self, message: str<N>) -> T {
    assert(self.is_some(), message);
    self._value
}

Expected Behavior

The function to typecheck and execute properly.

Bug

@vezenovm this seems related to the runtime error messages we mentioned before

# Description

## Problem\*

Resolves #3113

## Summary\*

The first major change is a new MacroProcessor that generates an oracle
and the respective unconstrained oracle wrapper for resolving assert
message expressions. This was done as to prevent exposing the resolve
assert message funcs in the stdlib directly.

Before an assertion with a dynamic assert message we perform a foreign
call out to the user with the format-string and the values to be
formatted. The user must then return what the assert message should look
like. This is then cached on by nargo when executing the ACVM and should
the next opcode fail to execute then this error message will be returned
to the user.

We now require end-users (people running ACVM) to format their own
assert messages.

Example output for `assert_msg_runtime` test:

Assert message still work in the stdlib as expected:

Output for debug logs when putting `assert(x == y, struct_string);` on
line 48 immediately following `std::println(struct_string);`:

# Description

## Problem\*

#4101 resolves
#3113 which was preventing an
expect function on our Option struct.

## Summary\*

This adds an `expect` method and a test inside of `compile_failure`.
Here is the example for the test under `compile_failure/option_expect`:
