Fix emission of niche-filling discriminant values
Bug #55606 points out a regression introduced by #54004; namely that
an assertion can erroneously fire when a niche-filling discriminant
value is emitted.
This fixes the bug by removing the assertion, and furthermore by
arranging for the discriminant value to be masked according to the
size of the niche. This makes handling the discriminant a bit simpler
for debuggers.
The test case is from Jonathan Turner.
