User provided messages, or any valid expression given as second
argument to the assert statement, are now shown in addition to the
py.test introspection details. Formerly any user provided message
would entirely replace the introspection details.
Fixes issue549.
Such reference cycles unnecessarily cause Python interpreter not to garbage
collect the objects referenced in those cycles as soon they could be collected,
and in turn cause the tests to use more memory than is strictly necessary.

branch : break_ExceptionInfo_reference_cycles
If the compared text was in bytes and not actually valid text
(i.e. could not be encoded to text/unicode using the default encoding)
then the assertrepr would fail with an EncodingError. This ensures
that the internal string is always valid unicode, converting any bytes
safely to valid unicode. This is done using repr() which then needs
post-processing to fix the encompassing quotes and un-escape newlines.
This fixes issue 429.
