Auto merge of rust-lang#68698 - tmiasko:catch-panic, r=Amanieu

Remove incorrect debug assertions from catch_unwind

Previously the debug assertions in the implementation of catch_unwind
used to verify consistency of the panic count by checking that the count
is zero just before leaving the function. This incorrectly assumed that
no panic was in progress when entering `catch_unwind`.

Fixes rust-lang#68696.
