The assert.fail function signature has the message as the third argument
but, understandably, it is often assumed that it is the first argument
(or at least the first argument if no other arguments are passed).

This corrects the assert.fail() invocations in the Node.js tests.

Before:
assert.fail('message');
// result: AssertionError: 'message' undefined undefined

After:
assert.fail(null, null, 'message');
// result: AssertionError: message

CI looks like it was having issues building some hosts. Trying again: https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-commit/847/

LGTM. Aren't there a number of occurrences where assert.fail() is used as a callback or event handler like foo.on('event', assert.fail)? Just curious if that turned up in your search at all.

@cjihrig Yes, that's a thing too.

@Trott assert.fail didn't change after 4.2.x right?

This should probably be backported to LTS
