build: remove assertion messages in non-debug buildth/assert-expr-strings-bgo767296

Assertions like g_assert*() and g_return_*() contain the stringified
test expression. This string ends up in the binary and increases its
size.

We usually don't have failing assertions. These string are a waste,
instead the file and line number shall suffice.

It reduces the striped size of the NetworkManager binary from 2500k
to 2392k, that is -108k, -4.3%.

This changes

 - "g_assert (1 == 2);"
   from: NetworkManager:ERROR:source.c:347:some_function: assertion failed: (1 == 2)
   to:   NetworkManager:ERROR:source.c:347:<unknown-fcn>: assertion failed: (<dropped>)

 - "g_return_if_fail (1 == 2);"
   from: (process:21024): NetworkManager-CRITICAL **: some_function: assertion '1 == 2' failed
   to:   (process:21024): NetworkManager-CRITICAL **: ((source.c:347)): assertion '<dropped>' failed

When doing a non-debug build, those string are now removed. Debug-builds
can be enabled by setting --with-more-assert=$LEVEL to larger then zero.
