assert: improve error messages
From now on all error messages produced by `assert` in strict mode will produce a error diff. Backport-PR-URL: #19230 PR-URL: #17615 Reviewed-By: James M Snell <jasnell@gmail.com> Reviewed-By: Matteo Collina <matteo.collina@gmail.com>

@@ -26,12 +29,42 @@ When using the `strict mode`, any `assert` function will use the equality used i
2629
the strict function mode. So [`assert.deepEqual()`][] will, for example, work the
2730
same as [`assert.deepStrictEqual()`][].
2831

32+
On top of that, error messages which involve objects produce an error diff
33+
instead of displaying both objects. That is not the case for the legacy mode.

It can be accessed using:

```js
3238
const assert = require('assert').strict;

```

Example error diff (the `expected`, `actual`, and `Lines skipped` will be on a
42+
single row):
43+
44+
```js
45+
const assert = require('assert').strict;
46+
47+
assert.deepEqual([[[1, 2, 3]], 4, 5], [[[1, 2, '3']], 4, 5]);
48+
```
