fab80fef61 refactor: Remove unused EnsureChainman (MarcoFalke)
fa34587f1c scripted-diff: Replace EnsureChainman with Assert in unit tests (MarcoFalke)
fa6ef701ad util: Add Assert identity function (MarcoFalke)
fa457fbd33 move-only: Move NDEBUG compile time check to util/check (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
The utility function is primarily useful to dereference pointer types, which are known to be not null at that time.
For example, the ArgsManager is known to exist when the wallets are started: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/18923/files#diff-fdb2a1a1d8bc790fcddeb6cf5a42ac55R503 . Instead of silently relying on that assumption, `Assert` can be used to abort the program and avoid UB should the assumption ever be violated.
