As far as I know, comparing any value to any non-RegExp literal or undefined using strictEqual (or notStrictEqual) passes if and only if deepStrictEqual (or notDeepStrictEqual, respectively) passes.

Personally, I think that unnecessarily using deep comparisons adds confusion.

This patch adds an ESLint rule that forbids the use of deepStrictEqual and notDeepStrictEqual when the expected value (i.e., the second argument) is a non-RegExp literal or undefined.

For reference, an ESTree literal is defined as follows.

extend interface Literal <: Expression {
    type: "Literal";
    value: string | boolean | null | number | RegExp | bigint;
}

The value undefined is an Identifier with name: 'undefined'.

Rubber-stamp LGTM if CI is green

I didn't expect that part to be this difficult 😄 Maybe the 12th CI run on the same commit will finally pass all tests.

(It seems that "yellow" jobs are also re-run upon pressing "resume", so the number of failures can actually increase.)

@tniessen when I land these changes on v16.x-staging, the tests fail. Do you mind backporting this PR?
