introduce 'fatal assertions'

This introduces a variant of ASSERT instructions that are fatal when they
are refuted.  Execution paths through fatal assertions that are refuted are
undefined.  Assertions that (otherwise) pass and that are reachable from a
refuted fatal assertion are now reported as UNKNOWN.

The motivating use-case for fatal assertions is undefined behavior in
languages such as C/C++ or Rust.
