Move Q_ASSUME and Q_UNREACHABLE to qassert.h

As a drive-by, add a link back to Q_ASSUME() in Q_LIKELY() docs.

\macro void Q_ASSUME(bool expr)
\relates <QtAssert>
\since 5.0
Causes the compiler to assume that \a expr is \c true. This macro is useful
for improving code generation, by providing the compiler with hints about
conditions that it would not otherwise know about. However, there is no
guarantee that the compiler will actually use those hints.
This macro could be considered a "lighter" version of \l{Q_ASSERT()}. While
Q_ASSERT will abort the program's execution if the condition is \c false,
Q_ASSUME will tell the compiler not to generate code for those conditions.
Therefore, it is important that the assumptions always hold, otherwise
undefined behavior may occur.
If \a expr is a constantly \c false condition, Q_ASSUME will tell the compiler
that the current code execution cannot be reached. That is, Q_ASSUME(false)
is equivalent to Q_UNREACHABLE().
In debug builds the condition is enforced by an assert to facilitate debugging.
\note Q_LIKELY() tells the compiler that the expression is likely, but not
the only possibility. Q_ASSUME tells the compiler that it is the only
possibility.

/*!
\macro void Q_UNREACHABLE()
\relates <QtAssert>
\since 5.0
Tells the compiler that the current point cannot be reached by any
execution, so it may optimize any code paths leading here as dead code, as
well as code continuing from here.
This macro is useful to mark impossible conditions. For example, given the
following enum:
\snippet code/src_corelib_global_qglobal.cpp qunreachable-enum
One can write a switch table like so:
\snippet code/src_corelib_global_qglobal.cpp qunreachable-switch
The advantage of inserting Q_UNREACHABLE() at that point is that the
compiler is told not to generate code for a shape variable containing that
value. If the macro is missing, the compiler will still generate the
necessary comparisons for that value. If the case label were removed, some
compilers could produce a warning that some enum values were not checked.
By using this macro in impossible conditions, code coverage may be improved
as dead code paths may be eliminated.
In debug builds the condition is enforced by an assert to facilitate debugging.
