fa6e6a3f03a38f8b431bf694268ed344d1815b3b doc: Remove confusing assert linter (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
The `assert()` documentation and linter are redundant and confusing:
* The source code already refuses to compile with `assert()` disabled.
* They violate the assumptions about `Assert()`, which *requires* side effects.
* The existing linter doesn't enforce the guideline, only checking for `++` and `--` side effects.
Fix all issues by removing the docs and the linter. See also https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/26684#discussion_r1287370102
Going forward everyone is free to use whatever code in this regard they think is the easiest to read. Also, everyone is still free to share style-nits, if they think it is a good use of their time and of the pull request author. Finally, the author is still free to dismiss or ignore this style-nit, or any other style-nit.
