Use a different way to write StaticAssertExpr() that does not require
the GCC extension statement expressions.
For C, we put the static_assert into a struct. This appears to be a
common approach.
We still need to keep the fallback implementation to support buggy
MSVC < 19.33.
For C++, we put it into a lambda expression. (The C approach doesn't
work; it's not permitted to define a new type inside sizeof.)
