doc: document asserts Weak(Map|Set) behavior

Right now it is not documentated that WeakMap entries are not
compared. This might result in some confusion. This adds a note
about the behavior in `assert.deepStrictEqual`. This documentation
is also references in `util.isDeepStrictEqual`, so we do not have
to document it again for that function as the underlying algorithm
is the same.
