Add ABORT_ON_ASSERT flag to CONFIG_SITE

Browse Source 
This flag causes EPICS to call abort() on assertion failures rather than
suspend the executing thread. With the epicsThreadSuspendSelf() behavior,
an IOC can end up in a difficult to detect error state where one or more
threads has essentially crashed due to an assertion failure.

This also matches the C behavior of assert(3)
