We use these to prevent UB from being optimized away in `/bin/crash` and
to make the compiler not warn about the many implicit floating point
type promotions in LibM.
It's prone to finding "technically uninitialized but can never happen"
cases, particularly in Optional<T> and Variant<Ts...>.
The general case seems to be that it cannot infer the dependency
between Variant's index (or Optional's boolean state) and a particular
alternative (or Optional's buffer) being untouched.
So it can flag cases like this:
```c++
if (index == StaticIndexForF)
new (new_buffer) F(move(*bit_cast<F*>(old_buffer)));
```
The code in that branch can _technically_ make a partially initialized
`F`, but that path can never be taken since the buffer holding an
object of type `F` and the condition being true are correlated, and so
will never be taken _unless_ the buffer holds an object of type `F`.
This commit also removed the various 'diagnostic ignored' pragmas used
to work around this warning, as they no longer do anything.
This adds the new flag -R for the crash utility which tests what
happens when we dereference a null RefPtr. This is useful for testing
the output of the assertion message.

(...and ASSERT_NOT_REACHED => VERIFY_NOT_REACHED)
Since all of these checks are done in release builds as well,
let's rename them to VERIFY to prevent confusion, as everyone is
used to assertions being compiled out in release.
We can introduce a new ASSERT macro that is specifically for debug
checks, but I'm doing this wholesale conversion first since we've
accumulated thousands of these already, and it's not immediately
obvious which ones are suitable for ASSERT.
This achieves two things:
- Programs can now intentionally perform arbitrary syscalls by calling
syscall(). This allows us to work on things like syscall fuzzing.
- It restricts the ability of userspace to make syscalls to a single
4KB page of code. In order to call the kernel directly, an attacker
must now locate this page and call through it.
