 In 1228dd293b60a we made TOR_COVERAGE equavalent to NDEBUG so that branch
 coverage could be accurate.

 But we hate  NDEBUG.

 I just spent 20 minutes too long debugging a problem because I'd forgotten
 that I was building with enable_coverage and that as such I shouldn't
 expect tor_assert to do anything.

 We should either revert 1228dd293b60a, or make an --enable-branch-coverage
 option for configure that you have to use if you want  to do branch
 coverage this way.
