Better exception messages for unittest assert methods.
- unittest.assertNotEqual() now uses the inequality operator (!=) instead
of the equality operator.
- Default assertTrue and assertFalse messages are now useful.
- TestCase has a longMessage attribute. This defaults to False, but if set to True
useful error messages are shown in addition to explicit messages passed to assert methods.
Issue #5663
