maint: add assertions to placate static analysis tools
A static analysis tool (http://labs.oracle.com/projects/parfait/) produced some false positive diagnostics. Add assertions to help it understand that the code is correct. * src/stty.c: Include <assert.h>. (display_changed): Add an assertion to placate parfait. (display_all): Likewise. * src/sort.c: Include <assert.h>. (main): Add an assertion to placate parfait. * src/fmt.c: Include <assert.h>. (get_paragraph): Add an assertion to placate parfait.
