Allow building llvm with asserts disabled

Doing that speeds up the built clang by around 25% (which is rather
significant) and reduces the size of the clang executable by almost 30%.

But since the mingw target in clang/llvm is less mature and less widely
tested than other llvm targets, running with assertions allows catching
quite a few issues during build instead of ending up with potentially
broken code.
