Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Documentation of `assertEquals` says:
> Note: When comparing `Blob` objects, you should first convert them to `Uint8Array` using the `Blob.bytes()` method and then compare their contents.
But what if one wants to compare whole objects that must contain `Blob`s as property values in a quite deep level of nesting?
**Describe the solution you'd like**
`assertEquals` should be able to return `Promise` to defer such comparison.
In , @kt3k said that changing `assertEquals` to async would be a large impact, but it seems unclear how large; the current return type of `assertEquals` is just `void`, so no one is supposed to use the return value. And of course non-async part of assertion can still be done synchronously before returning a `Promise`. Users who don't use `Blob`s wouldn't have to `await assertEquals`.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
To write `assertEquals` for every single leaf property of the objects in concern, which is catastrophically painful.
