Refactor the STEP macro in VMError::report to improve readability.
Right now the macro contains multiple statements on one line and the non-conventional control flow is even harder to understand.

This enhancement aims to do two things:
 1. It splits the macro into multiple lines with indentations which makes the structure of the C++ code generated by the preprocessor clearer.
  2. Separates the internal step logic from the decision logic which decides if a step should be taken with a STEP_IF(step_name_str, condition) macro

Testing: tier 1 + GHA

Commit messages:
 - Fix STEP_IF condition crash and clear_step_start_time
 - VMError::report STEP_IF and cleanup
