lib: fix assert shows diff messages in ESM and CJS

This PR addresses an issue which was caused by the design in
the ESM loader.
The ESM loader was modifying the file path and replacing the 'file'
property with the file proto in the stack trace.
This, in turn, led to unhandled exceptions when the assert module
attempted to open the file to display erroneous code.
The changes in this PR resolve this issue by handling the file path
correctly, ensuring that the remaining message formatting code can
execute as expected.
