Portable StaticAssertExpr

Use a different way to write StaticAssertExpr() that does not require
the GCC extension statement expressions.

For C, we put the static_assert into a struct. This appears to be a
common approach.

We still need to keep the fallback implementation to support buggy
MSVC < 19.33.

For C++, we put it into a lambda expression. (The C approach doesn't
work; it's not permitted to define a new type inside sizeof.)
