In preparation for making Vector::append + Vector::prepend
unavailable during compilation of the Kernel.
This specific file is compiled into the Kernel as well as LibVT.
Previously, this was done by telling the client to put a space at each
character in the range. This was inefficient, because a large number of
function calls took place and incorrect, as the ANSI standard dictates
that character attributes should be cleared as well.
The newly added `clear_in_line` function solves this issue. It performs
just one bounds check when it's called and can be implemented as a
pretty tight loop.

(...and ASSERT_NOT_REACHED => VERIFY_NOT_REACHED)
Since all of these checks are done in release builds as well,
let's rename them to VERIFY to prevent confusion, as everyone is
used to assertions being compiled out in release.
We can introduce a new ASSERT macro that is specifically for debug
checks, but I'm doing this wholesale conversion first since we've
accumulated thousands of these already, and it's not immediately
obvious which ones are suitable for ASSERT.
