Assertion messages in error messages

[SengerM]

Purpose

Make assertion messages defined in Modelica models visible in Python error messages.

Approach

The current implementation completely hides away assertion messages, which makes it very hard to debug when something is not working. This simple change shows the user what the assertion error was (see below), though I recognize it is not the most beautiful so it might be improved.

Additionally, I added a simple example to illustrate how to use assertions in Modelica. This is the output that the user gets when the example is run:

Finally, a prototype of test_passing function that could be made a standard with other examples to be used, as suggested by @syntron in #327 (here exactly), for automatic testing.

[adeas31]

test_passing is still not used in testing.

Probably its easier to directly add the example in the tests and check against the expected output.

I wonder if this is already covered by #278 and #370?
