George Rimar d30a78b3fe [ELF] - Eliminate the AssertCommand. ...

Currently, LLD supports ASSERT as a separate command.

We support two forms now.

Assign expression-form: . = ASSERT(0x100)
(old GNU ld required it and some scripts in the wild are still using
something like . = ASSERT((_end - _text <= (512 * 1024 * 1024)), "kernel image bigger than KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE");

Nowadays above is not a mandatory form and command-like form is commonly used:
ASSERT(<expr>, "text);

The return value of the ASSERT is Dot. That was implemented in D30171.
It looks like (2) is just a short version of (1) then.

GNU ld does *not* list ASSERT as a SECTIONS command:
https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/SECTIONS.html#SECTIONS

Given above we probably can change ASSERT to be an assignment to Dot. 
That makes the rest of the code much simpler. Patch do that.
