Summary: assertEquals(O, O) doesn't document behavior for Double

Initial Comment:
The javadoc for assertEquals(Object, Object) does not sufficiently document its behavior with respect to Double and Float. With the current documentation one would expect that passing two Float or two Double objects would be compared using .equals() but instead it compares their long values.

The caller should be using the (double, double, double) version of assertEquals instead but it is not clear from the javadoc that they should do so.
