Improve list/map support for ObjectsAreEqual

[harryzcy]

Summary

Function ObjectsAreEqual now compares two objects of type array/slice/map by iterating over each element. When two objects contain the same value but have different types, the function will now return true.

Changes

• The function ObjectsAreEqualValues in assertion.go is changed.
• Two helper functions listsAreEqualValues and mapsAreEqualValues are added.
• Tests are added accordingly.

Motivation

Currently, assert.EqualValues would fail when two objects are of type array/slice/map and contain values of different types.

// assert would fail
assert.EqualValues(t, []interface{}{1}, []interface{}{int64(1)})

But, assert.EqualValues should always compare objects by value. So the above code should idealy pass.

No, I don't know when maintainers will review them.
