While working on #122661, some of these started triggering our "unnecessary parens" lints due to a change in the `assert!` desugaring. A cursory search identified a few more. Some of these have been carried from before 1.0, were a bulk rename from the previous name of `assert!` left them in that state. I went and removed as many of these unnecessary parens as possible in order to have fewer annoyances in the future if we make the lint smarter.
