Please review this simple enhancement to remove runtime checks for `VM_Version::supports_fast_class_init_checks()` in platform specific code, and replace them with asserts - as we know statically whether a given platform supports it.

The changes are the same for each platform.

Testing
 - building all platforms via GHA
 - tiers 1-3 (sanity)

Thanks
