Similar to pjproject's PJ_ASSERT_RETURN macro, this one will do the
following...
If the assert passes... NoOp
If the assert fails and AST_DEVMODE is defined, execute ast_assert()
then, if DO_CRASH isn't set, return from the calling function with
the supplied value.
If the assert fails and AST_DEVMODE is not defined, return from the
calling function with the supplied value.
The macro will execute a return without a value if one isn't suppled.
