assert: more unsafe.Pointer tests

1. Isolate tests that use the "unsafe" package in a separate package
   assert/internal/unsafetests. That way the assert package is not
   tainted with unsafe.
2. Remove one reference to the private assert.isNil() in assert tests.
3. Add more tests of assert.Nil and assert.NotNil with unsafe.Pointer.
