rename assert! and assert_eq! to reflect that they uphold an invariant #12049

Description

@thestinger

These are not traditional assertions used for sanity checking that are optimized out in release builds. There are cases such as the asserts in std::cell::RefCell that are performing a useful sanity check, but should not be in a release build. By renaming these, we can make room for more traditional assertions.

I would suggest enforce!(condition) and enforce_eq!(a, b).
