SpecialPowers.spawn callbacks have helpers which automatically proxy calls of Assert methods back to the scope which called spawn. Unfortunately, this only works when the caller scope has a working SimpleTest harness. In particular, this means that it does not work for nested SpecialPowers.spawn calls, where it would be particularly useful.

Prior to this patch, assertions in SpecialPowers.spawn callbacks only work
when the caller was in a window with a SimpleTest harness.

This patch fixes that by registering a default assertion handler at the start
of a test, and sending assertions from any task without its own harness to
said default handler.
