main-loop: Disable block backend global state assertion on Cocoa

Since commit 0439c5a462 ("block/block-backend.c: assertions for
block-backend") QEMU crashes when using Cocoa on Darwin hosts.

Example on macOS:

  $ qemu-system-i386
  Assertion failed: (qemu_in_main_thread()), function blk_all_next, file block-backend.c, line 552.
  Abort trap: 6

Looking with lldb:

  Assertion failed: (qemu_in_main_thread()), function blk_all_next, file block-backend.c, line 552.
  Process 76914 stopped
  * thread #1, queue = 'com.apple.main-thread', stop reason = hit program assert

      549    */
      550   BlockBackend *blk_all_next(BlockBackend *blk)
      551   {
  --> 552       GLOBAL_STATE_CODE();
      553       return blk ? QTAILQ_NEXT(blk, link)
      554                  : QTAILQ_FIRST(&block_backends);
      555   }
  Target 1: (qemu-system-i386) stopped.

As we are in passed release 7.0 hard freeze, disable the block
backend assertion which, while being valuable during development,
is not helpful to users. We'll restore this assertion immediately
once 7.0 is released and work on a fix.
