Remove incorrect assertion in IRBuilder#8177

Conversation
IRBuilder has to handle the case where a branching instruction like br_on_null sends a value to its target label, even though we cannot directly represent such a value being sent in our IR. To do so, it adds an extra trampoline label that fetches the sent value out of scratch locals before branching to the original target. We previously had an assertion that the scratch local used to hold such extra values had the same type as the expression with the destination label. This is usually true, but it is possible that the destination label is on an If with an unreachable condition, in which case the destination has type unreachable and the scratch local has the original concrete label type. Remove the incorrect assertion. Fixes #8096.
