Debug assert that target != zero in difficulty calc 

The `difficulty` calculation requires dividing a target value by `self`.
Add an assertion that `self` is not zero to help devs debug this.

Note that this should never really be hit, but its possible there is a
bug somewhere causing the target to be set to zero - so this may help
debugging.

Also, add panics section to rustdocs.
