[Bug-wget] [Bug-Wget] Configure flag to disable assert

[Darshit Shah]

Assertions are good programming practice. However, as the recent assert I added 
shows us, they should not exist on the client side installations of our 
software. Assertions are meant for development use only.

Hence, I've added a new configure option, --disable-assert which will eliminate 
all assertions from the codebase before compilation.

A Note to Distro Maintainers:
=============================

I very highly recommend that you use the --disable-assert configuration option 
when compiling Wget. This is allow you to ensure that Wget does not fail with 
cryptic messages or for reasons that the end user cannot easily understand. 
Sometimes an assumption may fail, but the issue is not critical enough to cause 
Wget to crash. In such cases, disabling asserts will greatly improve user 
experience.
