⚡️ Speed up function clean_concolic_tests by 19% in PR #26 (clean_concolic_tests)

To optimize the program for better performance, consider the following approaches.

1. **Batch Processing**: Instead of transforming the asserts line-by-line within the loop, we can accumulate assert lines and process them in bulk.
2. **Efficient String Operations**: Minimize the number of string operations and regular expression matching by using direct AST manipulation.
3. **Optimizing AST Walk**: Handle the bulk processing of relevant AST nodes within the single pass over the tree.

Here's the optimized version.



### Changes Made.
1. **Efficient String Handling**: Optimized `_transform_assert_line()` by reducing redundant operations.
2. **Batch Processing**: The `transform_asserts()` function processes lines in one pass and transformed lines in bulk at the end.
3. **AST Optimization**: A single subclass of `ast.NodeTransformer` (`AssertTransform`) handles both `Assert` and `FunctionDef` node transformations in one traversal.

These changes improve readability and maintainability while also boosting the performance by reducing the complexity of operations performed per line and reusing parsing results effectively.
