servo: Merge #15564 - Disable LLVM assertions by default, on supported platforms (from servo:no-gods-no-masters-no-assertions); r=Ms2ger

<!-- Please describe your changes on the following line: -->

https://github.com/servo/servo/pull/15559#issuecomment-280003926

> With an empty incremental compilation cache (or, presumably, with incremental compilation disabled), LLVM assertions add 16% to the compilation time in debug mode, 53% (!) in release mode.

<!-- Thank you for contributing to Servo! Please replace each `[ ]` by `[X]` when the step is complete, and replace `__` with appropriate data: -->
- [x] `./mach build -d` does not report any errors
- [x] `./mach test-tidy` does not report any errors
- [x] These changes fix #15548 (github issue number if applicable).

<!-- Either: -->
- [ ] There are tests for these changes OR
- [ ] These changes do not require tests because _____

<!-- Pull requests that do not address these steps are welcome, but they will require additional verification as part of the review process. -->
