Remove property from assert message

Assert macros in prim_assert.sv report the asserted property as part of
the error message if the assertion fails. Doing that requires us to
stringify the property. If the property is multi-line in the source
code, this produces a multi-line string. According to the
SystemVerilog standard, a multi-line string requires a backslash (`\`)
at the end of a line. Adding this backslash through a macro is not
possible (at least to my knowledge), giving us no way to produce a
standards-compliant implementation of the `ASSERT` macros that report
the property as string.

This commit therefore removes the property from the error message if an
assertion fails. It makes these messages less useful, but the
information can still be recovered in a less convenient way through the
name of the assertion, and the file and line numbers. File and line
number were missing from the non-UVM code path before, this commit adds
them there as well.

This aligns the prim_assert.sv macro with what has been done in Ibex,
where all the discussion around this change happened as well. Please
have a look at https://github.com/lowRISC/ibex/issues/669 and
https://github.com/lowRISC/ibex/pull/699 for the bigger picture.

About the project

OpenTitan is an open source silicon Root of Trust (RoT) project. OpenTitan will make the silicon RoT design and implementation more transparent, trustworthy, and secure for enterprises, platform providers, and chip manufacturers. OpenTitan is administered by lowRISC CIC as a collaborative project to produce high quality, open IP for instantiation as a full-featured product. See the OpenTitan site and OpenTitan docs for more information about the project.

About this repository

This repository contains hardware, software and utilities written as part of the OpenTitan project. It is structured as monolithic repository, or “monorepo”, where all components live in one repository. It exists to enable collaboration across partners participating in the OpenTitan project.

Documentation

The project contains comprehensive documentation of all IPs and tools. You can either access it online or build it locally by following the steps below.

  1. Ensure that you have the required Python modules installed (to be executed in the repository root):
$ sudo apt install curl python3 python3-pip
$ pip3 install --user -r python-requirements.txt
  1. Execute the build script:
$ ./util/build_docs.py --preview

This compiles the documentation into ./build/docs and starts a local server, which allows you to access the documentation at http://127.0.0.1:1313.
