GDB/opcodes: Remove arch/mach/endian disassembler assertions

Fix `set architecture' and `set endian' command disassembly regressions
from commit 39503f82427e ("Delegate opcodes to select disassembler in
GDB"), and commit 003ca0fd2286 ("Refactor disassembler selection"), as
well as a MIPS compressed ISA disassembly target regression from commit
6394c606997f ("Don't use print_insn_XXX in GDB"), which caused assertion
failures to trigger.

For example with the `mips-linux-gnu' target we get:

$ cat main.c
int
main (void)
{
  return 0;
}
$ gcc -mips32r2 -O2 main.c -o main
$ gcc -mips16 -mips32r2 -O2 main.c -o main16
$ gdb
