std.debug.assert: remove special case for test builds ...

Previously, std.debug.assert would `@panic` in test builds,
if the assertion failed. Now, it's always `unreachable`.

This makes release mode test builds more accurately test
the actual code that will be run.

However this requires tests to call `std.testing.expect`
rather than `std.debug.assert` to make sure output is correct.

Here is the explanation of when to use either one, copied from
the assert doc comments:

Inside a test block, it is best to use the `std.testing` module
rather than assert, because assert may not detect a test failure
in ReleaseFast and ReleaseSafe mode. Outside of a test block, assert
is the correct function to use.
