This is a commit for Node Interactive. I changed some basic assertion messages to hopefully provide better insights into errors.

The returned error message is not going to be great here and therefore it might be better to use a error message that includes both buffers. But this should not be blocking.

@BridgeAR When I run assert.deepStrictEqual in the default behavior using foobar (as in the test) and foobaz the default assertion thrown is this:

AssertionError: <Buffer 66 6f 6f 62 61 7a 0a> deepStrictEqual <Buffer 66 6f 6f 62 61 72 0a>

Are you saying that I should change it to look something like the following?:

AssertionError: ret  <Buffer 66 6f 6f 62 61 7a 0a> and msgBuf <Buffer 66 6f 6f 62 61 72 0a> should be equal
