sys/util.h: add UTIL_OR and UTIL_AND

These are short-circuiting utility helpers that can save typing
in situations where avoiding evaluation of the not-taken branch
skips invalid expressions.

* These are like || and &&, but they do evaluation and
* short-circuiting at preprocessor time instead of runtime.
*
* UTIL_OR(foo, bar) is sometimes a replacement for (foo || bar)
* when "bar" is an expression that would cause a build
* error when "foo" is true.
*
* UTIL_AND(foo, bar) is sometimes a replacement for (foo && bar)

* error when "foo" is false.
