Description

During triage it is super helpful to be able to know if input that causes a crash also hits asserts. For this purpose it would be extremely useful to have an asserts-enabled build of DXC on Compiler Explorer. There is an asserts-enabled build of Clang trunk on CE, so this has existing analog.

### Tasks
- [ ] Add DXC asserts enabled build to the build-dxc script (https://github.com/compiler-explorer/misc-builder)
- [ ] Add DXC asserts enabled build to hlsl build configurations (https://github.com/compiler-explorer/infra)
- [ ] Add DXC asserts enabled build to CE (https://github.com/compiler-explorer/compiler-explorer)

Research direction

Start with the build-dxc script in the compiler-explorer/misc-builder repository, then inspect the HLSL build configurations in compiler-explorer/infra and the DXC integration in compiler-explorer. The work is done when an assertions-enabled DXC trunk build is built, configured, and available in Compiler Explorer alongside the existing builds.
