rSTAGINGaa668d1eb240: Avoid spurious boost output in scheduler_tests
rABCaa668d1eb240: Avoid spurious boost output in scheduler_tests

Summary

Boost test macros try to output some message, which leads to a messy
debug output when called in intricated threads.
Use assert in these cases solves the issue.

Backport of Core PR14069
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/14069/files

Test Plan

./src/test/test_bitcoin -t scheduler_tests

Without the patch it will sometime output partial boost debug info.
With the patch the output will remain clean.

I guess one frustrating thing with assert is that it doesn't throw an exception (just kills program without any information), if it happens that these fail for some reason.
