*Enable \_\_ASSERT() macro*

Type: ``bool``

Help
====

.. code-block:: none

    This enables the __ASSERT() macro in the kernel code. If an assertion
    fails, the policy for what to do is controlled by the implementation
    of the assert_post_action() function, which by default will trigger
    a fatal error.

    Disabling this option will cause assertions to compile to nothing,
    improving performance and system footprint.
