The gnutls_assert() is there for logging, and can be useful when
understanding which path an execution took. If debug logging is not
used (the default) it is essentially a no-op.
I guess we can remove the call if it is triggered very often, but
logging about V1 CA's might make someone notice it and do something
about it. I'd consider a V1 CA something of an exception and worth
worrying about, hence the assert call.
