v6.x Backport - test, eslintrc: s/assert.equal/assert.strictEqual/
Backport of https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/10698
Currently includes https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/11775, as otherwise there'd be way too many conflicts. You want the last two commits. Rebased as #11775 landed, can now be landed as is.
If you want to see the manual changes (most worth reviewing) see the unsquashed branch, especially the last commit.
