This commit adds special handling of Error instances when passed
as the message argument to assert functions. With this commit,
if an Error is passed as the message, then that Error is thrown
instead of an AssertionError.

I fixed an error that occured in the test case of the file
test/parallel/test-assert-fail.js when foo was in the path to
the git clone. This occured due to a regex that looked only for the
word foo, and so it was updated to not look for foo/, but only
foo. This way it won't go off from foo being in the path to the
git clone

Using `assert.AssertionError()` without the `new` keyword results
in a non-intuitive error:
```js
> assert.AssertionError({})
TypeError: Cannot assign to read only property 'name' of function 'function ok(value, message) {
if (!value) fail(value, true, message, '==', assert.ok);
}'

The `assert.AssertionError()` can only be used correctly with `new`,
so this converts it into a proper ES6 class that will give an
appropriate error message.
This also associates the appropriate internal/errors code with all
`assert.AssertionError` instances and updates the appropriate test
cases.

assert.fail() has two possible function signatures, both of which are
not intuitive. It virtually guarantees that people who try to use
assert.fail() without carefully reading the docs will end up using it
incorrectly.
This change maintains backwards compatibility with the two valid uses
(arguments 1 2 and 4 supplied but argument 3 falsy, and argument 3
supplied but arguments 1 2 and 4 all falsy) but also adds the far more
intuitive first-argument-only and first-two-arguments-only
possibilities.
assert.fail('boom');
// AssertionError: boom
assert.fail('a', 'b');
// AssertionError: 'a' != 'b'
