[NFC][CodingStandard] Require[[maybe_unused]] for unused variables in asserts

 ``V.size()`` is only useful for the assert, and we don't want it executed when
 assertions are disabled.  Code like this should move the call into the assert
 itself.  In the second case, the side effects of the call must happen whether
