Support anonymous string literals in C-- (OR) give better ASSERT failure messages in C--

So if I say "foobar" in C--, it turns into:

  section "rodata" {
	fresh_name : bits8[] "foobar\0";
  }

This would let us fix the ASSERT macro in Cmm.h to also get the filename. Requires parser changes.

Alternatively, we can redefine the ASSERT macro per C-- file to have a hardcoded filename with some preprocessor trickery.
