Please review this PR which removes an `assert` from the default method `Checksum::update(ByteBuffer)`.
Since this is an interface, javac generates a synthetic inner class to capture the `$assertionsDisabled` information.
This is the only use of assert within default methods in `java.base`.
I do not think it carries its weight in terms of the loading the generated class, so I suggest we simply remove it. The method already returns when `pos > limit`.
Trivial cleanup, `noreg-cleanup`.
