Although I don't plan to bring over new assertions wholesale
into the current qualification branch, it's entirely possible
that various minor changes in main will use the new assertions;
having this basic support in the release branch will simplify that.
(This is why I'm adding the includes as a separate pass from
rewriting the individual assertions)
Andy some time ago already created the new API but didn't go through and update
the old occurences. I did that in this PR and then deprecated the old API. The
tree is clean, so I could just remove it, but I decided to be nicer to
downstream people by deprecating it first.
