This commit is an implementation of [RFC 563][rfc] which adds a new
`cfg(debug_assertions)` directive which is specially recognized and calculated
by the compiler. The flag is turned off at any optimization level greater than 1
and may also be explicitly controlled through the `-C debug-assertions`
flag.
[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/563
The `debug_assert!` and `debug_assert_eq!` macros now respect this instead of
the `ndebug` variable and `ndebug` no longer holds any meaning to the standard
library.
Code which was previously relying on `not(ndebug)` to gate expensive code should
be updated to rely on `debug_assertions` instead.
Closes#22492
