Subject: basic: remove an assertion from cunescape_one


The function takes a pointer to a random block of memory and
the length of that block. It shouldn't crash every time it sees
a zero byte at the beginning there.

This should help the dev-kmsg fuzzer to keep going.

(cherry picked from commit 8dc4de966ce6d32470aaff30ed054f6a2688d6d7)

Resolves: #1764560
