gl_ASSERT: don't say assertions are disabled when they're not

* m4/assert.m4 (gl_ASSERT): Do not make configure report
"checking whether to enable assertions... no", when they are in
fact enabled.  This is solely a bug in the output of configure.
In spite of saying "no", NDEBUG was not defined in that case.
