[PATCH] xfsprogs: use abort() not ASSERT(0) for impossible switch case

The original reason for the expletive below has been lost
in the mists of time, but at any rate, ASSERT() goes away in
libxfs, and this leads static analysis checkers to believe that
XFS_BTNUM_MAX is possible, and that we might overflow an array
later when using it as an index.

We can shut this up and mark it as truly impossible with abort().
