Comparing any value to any non-RegExp literal or undefined using
strictEqual (or notStrictEqual) passes if and only if deepStrictEqual
(or notDeepStrictEqual, respectively) passes.
Unnecessarily using deep comparisons adds confusion.
This patch adds an ESLint rule that forbids the use of deepStrictEqual
and notDeepStrictEqual when the expected value (i.e., the second
argument) is a non-RegExp literal or undefined.
For reference, an ESTree literal is defined as follows.
extend interface Literal <: Expression {
type: "Literal";
value: string | boolean | null | number | RegExp | bigint;
}
The value `undefined` is an `Identifier` with `name: 'undefined'`.

To indicate which lines are test lines and which from Node.js core,
it's good to rely on `util.inspect()` while inspecting errors.
The stack was accessed directly instead in multiple cases and logging
that does not provide as much information as using `util.inspect()`.

This adds a new functionality to the assertion module: a dedicated
check for regular expressions. So far it's possible to use
`assert.ok(regexp.test(string))`. This is not ideal though when it
comes to the error message, since it's not possible to know how
either of the input values look like. It's just known that the
assertion failed.
This allows to pass through the regular expression and the input
string. The string is then matched against the regular expression
and reports a expressive error message in case of a failure.

This completely refactors the `expectsError` behavior: so far it's
almost identical to `assert.throws(fn, object)` in case it was used
with a function as first argument. It had a magical property check
that allowed to verify a functions `type` in case `type` was passed
used in the validation object. This pattern is now completely removed
and `assert.throws()` should be used instead.
The main intent for `common.expectsError()` is to verify error cases
for callback based APIs. This is now more flexible by accepting all
validation possibilites that `assert.throws()` accepts as well. No
magical properties exist anymore. This reduces surprising behavior
for developers who are not used to the Node.js core code base.
This has the side effect that `common` is used significantly less
frequent.

ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE is the most common error used throughout the
code base. This improves the error message by providing more details
to the user and by indicating more precisely which values are allowed
ones and which ones are not.
It adds the actual input to the error message in case it's a primitive.
If it's a class instance, it'll print the class name instead of
"object" and "falsy" or similar entries are not named "type" anymore.

This makes sure that validation function used by `assert.throws` and
`assert.rejects` always throw validatin errors instead of rethrowing
the received error.
That should improve the debugging experience for developers since
they have a better context where the error is coming from and they
also get to know what triggered it.

This improves `assert.throws()` and `assert.rejects()` in case error
classes are used as validation for the expected error.
In case of a failure it will now throw an `AssertionError` instead
of the received error if the check fails. That error has the received
error as actual property and the expected property is set to the
expected error class.
The error message should help users to identify the problem faster
than before by providing extra context what went wrong.

Often, the word “identical” when referring to JS objects will
be read as referring to having the same object identity (which is
called “reference equality” here), but what the error message is
trying to say here is that the objects are different but yield the
same `util.inspect()` output.
Since `util.inspect()` output represents the structure rather than
the identity of objects, (hopefully) clarify the error message to
reflect that.

This makes sure `assert.throws()` and `assert.rejects()` result in
an easy to understand error message instead of rethrowing the actual
error. This should significantly improve the debugging experience in
case people use an regular expression to validate their errors.
This also adds support for primitive errors that would have caused
runtime errors using the mentioned functions. The input is now
stringified before it's passed to the RegExp to circumvent that.
As drive-by change this also adds some further comments and renames
a variable for clarity.
