libstdc++: Stop defining _GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS in floating_to_chars.cc

Assertions were originally enabled in the compiled-in floating-point
std::to_chars implementation to help shake out any bugs, but they
apparently impose a significant performance penalty, most notably for
the hex formatting which is around 25% slower with assertions enabled.
This seems too high a cost for unconditionally enabling them.

The newly added calls to __builtin_unreachable work around the compiler
no longer knowing that the set of valid values of 'fmt' is limited (which
was previously upheld by an assert).

libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:

* src/c++17/floating_to_chars.cc (_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS): Don't
define.
(__floating_to_chars_shortest): Add __builtin_unreachable calls to
squelch false-positive -Wmaybe-uninitialized and -Wreturn-type
warnings.
(__floating_to_chars_precision): Likewise.
