basic: add assert() when doing pointer deref

Lennart reminded me in [1] that we need to add assert() in functions
that do pointer access. For the simple `*p` pointer dereferences
we even have an automatic coccinelle script that ensures that as
part of the automatic code checks.

However for deref in the `p->` style this is not supported right
now and adding it to coccinelle is hard because its too slow for
this kind of check. So I created a (slightly messy) tree-sitter
python script to see how many asserts we are currently missing.

This commit is the result of running it over the `src/basic`
dir and fixing the flagged issues. I plan to tidy it up and
add it to the checks too but this is orthogonal to this commit.
