Since commit 0439c5a462 ("block/block-backend.c: assertions for
block-backend") QEMU crashes when using Cocoa on Darwin hosts.
Example on macOS:
$ qemu-system-i386
Assertion failed: (qemu_in_main_thread()), function blk_all_next,
file block-backend.c, line 552.
Abort trap: 6
Looking with lldb:
Assertion failed: (qemu_in_main_thread()), function blk_all_next,
file block-backend.c, line 552.
Process 76914 stopped

As we are in passed release 7.0 hard freeze, disable the block
backend assertion which, while being valuable during development,
is not helpful to users. We'll restore this assertion immediately
once 7.0 is released and work on a fix.
