Tell Clang's static analysis that SDL_assert() is an assertion handler.

Browse Source 
This lets it know, for example, that when you do this...

    SDL_assert(ptr != NULL);

...that (ptr) is definitely not NULL at this point in the program, for the
sake of static analysis. While a buggy program could definitely trigger this
assertion, Clang assumes your assertion check is covering it and won't
report possible NULL dereferences after this point.

Since SDL_assert might continue if the user clicks "ignore", without this
change Clang would notice you checked for NULL (meaning that NULL is a real
possibility here) and still wrote code outside of that test branch that
dereferences the pointer, and thus would always trigger false positives.

Static analysis is fun!
