Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 In [changeset:"51562" 51562]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="51562"
 Build/Test Tools: Simplify redundant PHPUnit shim for
 `setExpectedException()`.

 PHPUnit 6 deprecated the `setExpectedException()` method in favor of the
 `expectException()`, `expectExceptionMessage()`, and
 `expectExceptionCode()` methods.

 `WP_UnitTestCase_Base::setExpectedException()` backfilled the old method.
 As the PHPUnit Polyfills have a polyfill for the ''new'' method, this
 backfill can now be simplified.

 This backfill ''should'' be removed in a future iteration, but is, for
 now, left in place so as not to break backward compatibility for
 plugin/theme test suites which extend the WP native test suite for their
 integration tests.

 Follow-up to [48996], [48997], [51559-51561].

 Props jrf.
 See #46149.
