Fix -Wextra-semi-stmt at its actual source, not assert()

clang_flags.cmake blamed the global -Wno-extra-semi-stmt on assert(),
but assert() expands to an expression under glibc and libc++ and does
not trigger this warning. unit-assert_macro.cpp overrides JSON_ASSERT
with "{if (!(x)) ++assert_counter; }", a bare block followed by a
semicolon at every JSON_ASSERT(...) call site in the library; that
was the actual source of 151 of the 208 -Wextra-semi-stmt sites found
in a Clang 22 -Weverything sweep of the test suite with the flag
removed. Switched to the standard do/while(false) macro idiom, which
does not expand to a statement-plus-semicolon, and corrected the
comment to name the remaining source instead: vendored Doctest's
CAPTURE(x) shim, which already ends in a semicolon.

Verified with clang++ -Wextra-semi-stmt (plus the file's other CI
ignores) that unit-assert_macro.cpp now compiles without any
-Wextra-semi-stmt diagnostic.
