Revert "nir/builder: Assert that intN_t immediates fit"

For this to work the compiler must ensure that it never puts
the values that arrive to this helper into unsigned variables
at any point in its processing, since that would not apply sign
extension to the value and it would break the expectations here.
Unfortunately, we use uint64_t extensively to pass and copy
things around, so some times we get to this helper with values
that are not properly sign extended to 64-bit. Here is an example
for an 8-bit value that comes from a switch case:
(gdb) p /x x
$1 = 0xffffffd6
The value seems to have been sign extended to 32-bit at some point
getting proper sign extension, but then copied into a uint64_t
which wont' apply sign extension, breaking the expectations of
the assertion.
