[issue10273] Clean-up Unittest API

> * Moving the docs for type specific equality methods inside the docs for assertEqual to emphasize that those get dispatched automatically and need not be called directly.

I already fixed this on py3k, adding a section where the type-specific methods are described[0] and added a reference in the assertEqual description[1].  I also clarified that usually there's no need to call them directly even thought I don't see why they shouldn't do it if they want to use a specific test.

> * Changing assertRegexpMatches to assertRegex

And assertNotRegexpMatches -> assertNotRegex,  assertRaisesRegexp -> assertRaisesRegex,  assertWarnsRegexp -> assertWarnRegex?
Will the *Regexp forms be deprecated too?
