[pushed] C++ : Remove an overzealous checking assert [PR97871]

[Iain Sandoe]

Hi,

This amends my commit from r11-4927 to remove an assert.

tested on x86_64-darwin,
pushed to master

-------

It seems we accept __attribute__(()) without any diagnostic at present,
so my added checking assert fires for something like:

__attribute__ (()) int a;

Fixed by removing the assert; in the case that the user enters something
like:

__attribute__ (()) extern "C" int foo;

The diagnostic about attributes before linkage specs will fire and show
the empty attributes.
