Assertion test regressions with gcc15 on Resolute

[claraberendsen]

Description

While testing on Resolute with the default version for gcc15, a number of test regressions appeared with error:

42: [test_publisher-2] 1772127305.884852 [5] dq.builtin: type [INVALID 0000000000000000000000000000]: ddsi_xt_type_init_impl with invalid type object

Reference build:

This probably comes from changes on gcc15: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-15/changes.html

Debug assertions are now enabled by default for unoptimized builds. Use -D_GLIBCXX_NO_ASSERTIONS to override this.

Building with this CMAKE flag shows that the issues are resolved/ignored.
