RFR(XS): JDK-8040018 Remove bad assert in ClassFileParser.cpp

[Lois Foltan]

Hi Harold,

Just a follow up.  After looking at this more today, I actually think my 
ASM test case isn't working as intended.  I think you are better off 
going with the original .jcod/test.jar file for testing. As I mentioned 
below, the code change looks good.
