Here's a different idea: move all the Assert() and StaticAssert() etc
definitions from c.h and postgres.h into a new header, say pgassert.h.
That header is included directly by postgres.h (just like palloc.h and
elog.h already are) so we don't have to touch the backend code at all.
Frontend programs that want that functionality can just #include
"pgassert.h" by themselves.  The definitions are (obviously) protected
by #ifdef FRONTEND so that it all works in both environments cleanly.
