Assertions help both Coverity and the clang static analyzer avoid
false positives, but on the other hand both are confused when
the condition is compiled as (void)(x != FOO).  Always expand
assertion macros when using Coverity or clang, through a new
QEMU_STATIC_ANALYSIS preprocessor symbol.

This fixes a couple false positives in TCG.
