This allows the compiler to optimise the code a bit better: since they
don't return, it can assume in the code after the Q_ASSERT that the
condition was true.
MSVC is the exception: with MSVC, we have the CrtDbgReport dialog,
which allows the developer to continue execution, inside the
debugger. Therefore, we can't mark any of those functions as
non-returning because they can, after all, return.
Unfortunately, the Q_ASSERT usually expands to no code in release
mode, so the improvement in code generation happens in debug mode
only...
