Run tests with debug assertions enabled

The Windows CI run does take longer in this PR (20 minutes vs. 12 minutes), but looking at the logs this seems to be because the dependency builds are simply not cached. I spot-checked the test runtimes and they look about the same, so I think this should be fine!

@DJMcNab what do you think of this?

I don't know. If it's making ci build times that much longer, that seems pretty bad.
But as a thing to want, it seems reasonable enough.

The longer build times just seem to be because dependencies aren't cached (yet).

Yes, I guess this is unfortunate for the debug assertions checks. Maybe there's a middle ground where some optimizations are enabled while keeping the debug assertions?

Could we verify that it's being cached by comparing the execution times of consecutive CI checks?
