assert: use Object.is comparison in .strictEqual

This aligns assert.strictEqual and assert.notStrictEqual with
assert.deepStrictEqual to use the Object.is() comparison instead
of strict equality.

-## Caveats
-
-For the following cases, consider using ES2015 [`Object.is()`][],
-which uses the [SameValueZero][] comparison.
-
-```js
-const a = 0;
-const b = -a;
-assert.notStrictEqual(a, b);
-// AssertionError: 0 !== -0
-// Strict Equality Comparison doesn't distinguish between -0 and +0...
-assert(!Object.is(a, b));
-// but Object.is() does!
-
-const str1 = 'foo';
-const str2 = 'foo';
-assert.strictEqual(str1 / 1, str2 / 1);
-// AssertionError: NaN === NaN
-// Strict Equality Comparison can't be used to check NaN...
-assert(Object.is(str1 / 1, str2 / 1));
-// but Object.is() can!
