SpiUtils - explicit asm instead of volatile

getting rid of volatile arg(s) is must-have for -std=c++20 and later

provide helper macros to init & load vars at specific points in code
modify existing macros to use c++-style casts & less volatile
change locals to plain non-volatile variables, avoid extra memw

also fixes unintentional const mask load in (pre_cmd) branch
