util: Allow Assert() in contexts without __func__

Without this, compile warnings could be hit about __func__ being only
valid inside functions.

warning: predefined identifier is only valid inside function [-Wpredefined-identifier-outside-function]
note: expanded from macro Assert
115 | #define Assert(val) inline_assertion_check<true>(val, __FILE__, __LINE__, __func__, #val)

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a routine code-quality change that swaps the old way of recording file, line, and function names in assertion helpers for a modern C++ standard feature. It fixes a compiler warning that could appear when assertions are used in certain contexts, but it does not change what the program does or fix any security bug.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Treat as a normal build/quality improvement.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
