Ancestors: Kernel-mt.1290

Make AssertionFailure an Error rather than a Halt.

This change is necessary for at least running the SUnit tests suite, otherwise the DecompilerTests hangs in a debugger...

There was a consensus on this decision in squeak-dev thread last november, so let's just do it:
[squeak-dev] Squeak's AssertionFailure vs. SUnit's TestFailure
http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2019-November/205039.html

For now, keep it resumable. I don't know if reasonable, but like that, AssertionFailure behavior should be mostly unchanged.
