[clang] [clang][bytecode] Remove an incorrect assertion (PR #179644)

[Timm Baeder via cfe-commits]

https://github.com/tbaederr created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/179644

There are situations where DiscardResult is set, but we still wish to emit a float value, e.g. when we will discard the result of an operation involving such a float value.

Subject: [PATCH] [clang][bytecode] Remove an incorrect assertion

There are situations where DiscardResult is set, but we still wish to
emit a float value, e.g. when we will discard the result of an operation
involving such a float value.
