fix: endow with original unstructured assert (#9514)

closes: #9515 
refs: #5672 #8332 #9513  endojs/endo#2323

## Description

To address #5672 , we should change all uses of `assert` to obtain `assert` by importing it from the `@endo/errors` package. However, attempts to do so (#8332 #9513) ran into the symptoms reported at #9515 for the reasons reported there -- accidentally using the imported `assert` as the endowment for the global `assert` of new Compartments.

This PR prepares the ground for these fixes to #5672 by unambiguously endowing with the original unstructured `globalThis.assert`, which will remain the correct endowment even when other uses of `assert` have migrated to the one imported from `@endo/errors`. By itself, this PR, preceding those fixes to #5672 , is not actually fixing a bug in the sense of a behavioral change. Reviewers, let me know if you think this PR should be labeled a "refactor" because of this.

### Security Considerations
none
### Scaling Considerations
none
### Documentation Considerations
anyone gathering endowments for a new compartment should be aware of this issue, and be sure to use `globalThis.assert` as the `assert` endowment. Fortunately, this will only be of concern to advanced developers.
### Testing Considerations
Since this PR doesn't actually cause any behavioral change, it cannot be tested in place. Rather, its test will be whether #9513 still passes CI once rebased on this PR.

***Update***: #9513 is now passing CI well enough to consider this PR (#9514) to be adequately tested.

### Upgrade Considerations
This PR by itself does not have any dependence on @endo/errors existing, and so should be compatible even when linked against fairly ancient versions of endo.
