(...and ASSERT_NOT_REACHED => VERIFY_NOT_REACHED)
Since all of these checks are done in release builds as well,
let's rename them to VERIFY to prevent confusion, as everyone is
used to assertions being compiled out in release.
We can introduce a new ASSERT macro that is specifically for debug
checks, but I'm doing this wholesale conversion first since we've
accumulated thousands of these already, and it's not immediately
obvious which ones are suitable for ASSERT.
Now that we have RTTI in userspace, we can do away with all this manual
hackery and use dynamic_cast.
We keep the is<T> and downcast<T> helpers since they still provide good
readability improvements. Note that unlike dynamic_cast<T>, downcast<T>
does not fail in a recoverable way, but will assert if the object being
casted is not a T.
