 Follow-up to:

 * #55654 (6.1)
 * #54726 (6.0)
 * #53364 (5.9)
 * #52482 (5.8)
 * #38266 (5.7)

 The `assertEquals()` test method does not check that the types of the
 expected and actual values match. This can hide subtle bugs especially
 when the values are falsey.

 Tasks:

 * Switch to using `assertSame()` when the type of the value in the
 assertion is important
 * Replace overall usage of `assertEquals()` with type-strict assertion
 methods, with the aim of potentially removing its usage altogether

 To help ease the effort of backporting tests, changes should also be made
 upstream in the Gutenberg repository.
