rABC41441cb8ee36: util: Add Assert identity function
Summary
The utility function is primarily useful to dereference pointer types,
which are known to be not null at that time.

For example, the ArgsManager is known to exist when the wallets are
started:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/18923/files#diff-fdb2a1a1d8bc790fcddeb6cf5a42ac55R503
. Instead of silently relying on that assumption, Assert can be used to
abort the program and avoid UB should the assumption ever be violated.

Backport of core PR19277.

Depends on D8565.
