[Bug lto/41635] New: inappropriate assertion that fopen succeeds

["jsm28 at gcc dot gnu dot org" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

As noted in my review of the LTO front end,

      resolution = fopen (resolution_file_name, "r");
      gcc_assert (resolution != NULL);

is not an appropriate use of an assertion because the fopen could
fail through system resource exhaustion even if you know the file
exists and is readable and has proper contents.  A normal error or
fatal error needs to be given instead.
