Subject: [C23 divers headers 12/17] C23: change the assert macro to ... arguments

Macro arguments are ambiguate fellows. A single C expression such as
(struct toto){ 1, 2}.a appears as two macro arguments.

This mandatory change has the macro accept an unlimited number of
macro-parameters, but which then must resolve to a single C
expression. This is achieved by squeezing the argument list through a
trivial function call to a static function.  By that we ensure that
lists that represent more than one expression (such as `1, 2`) and
empty lists are diagnosed.
