__builtin_unreachable doesn't raise any compile-time warnings/errors on its
own, so problems with its usage can't be easily detected. While it would be
nice for this situation to change and compilers to at least add a warning
for trivial cases where local state means the instruction can't be reached,
this isn't the case at the moment and likely will not happen.
This commit adds an __assert_unreachable, whose intent is incredibly clear:
it asserts that this instruction is unreachable. On INVARIANTS builds, it's
a panic(), and on non-INVARIANTS it expands to __unreachable().
Existing users of __unreachable() are converted to __assert_unreachable,
to improve debuggability if this assumption is violated.

Support for compression has been available from July 2007 but it
was never imported due to concerns with patents once held by
STAC/HiFn. The issues have clearly been resolved so bring it
in now.
Special thanks to Brett Glass for preserving the code and
pointing documentation for the expiration case.
