Fixes various Wreturn-type and Wimplicit-fallthrough errors on Mingw-w64

This is a recent regression since commit
6359b79847 which added various assert(0)
calls (often replacing return-s).
With Ming-W64 compiler, json-c build was failing with various errors of
the sort:

The problem is that Mingw-w64 does not consider assert() as a noreturn
(even assert(0)), because it has to be compatible by Microsoft
libraries. See the discussion here:
https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/bugs/306/

Instead let's create a new json_abort() function which is basically just
an abort() function with an optional message, for such cases where
abortion was non-conditional (using assert() and using the assertion
condition as a message here was clearly a misuse of the function). And
mark json_abort() as 'noreturn', as well as 'cold' for optimization
purpose (this is code we expect to never run, unless there is a bug,
that is).

Finally let's use this json_abort() instead of previous misused assert()
calls.
