Fix potentially misleading test failures

This is in response to https://github.com/zcash/zcash/pull/3590#discussion_r224677644

Currently statements such as:

```assert_equal("Embarassment", "Embarrassment", "Misspelling detected")```

Will produce essentially the following error:
```
Assertion failed: Misspelling detected; expected: <Embarassment> but was: <Embarrassment>
  File "/home/eirik/Development/zcash/qa/rpc-tests/test_framework/test_framework.py", line 121, in main
    self.run_test()
  File "/home/eirik/Development/zcash/qa/rpc-tests/test_spelling.py", line 13, in run_test
```
Which is misleading because the item on the left is not what is actually expected.

This PR changes the assertion failure to be displayed as:
```
Assertion failed: (left == right); Misspelling detected
  left: <Embarassment>
 right: <Embarrassment>
  File "/home/eirik/Development/zcash/qa/rpc-tests/test_framework/test_framework.py", line 121, in main
    self.run_test()
  File "/home/eirik/Development/zcash/qa/rpc-tests/test_spelling.py", line 13, in run_test
```

Zcash 2.0.1

What is Zcash?

Zcash is an implementation of the "Zerocash" protocol. Based on Bitcoin's code, it intends to offer a far higher standard of privacy through a sophisticated zero-knowledge proving scheme that preserves confidentiality of transaction metadata. Technical details are available in our Protocol Specification.

This software is the Zcash client. It downloads and stores the entire history of Zcash transactions; depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process could take a day or more once the blockchain has reached a significant size.

🔒 Security Warnings

See important security warnings on the Security Information page.

Zcash is experimental and a work-in-progress. Use at your own risk.

📒 Deprecation Policy

This release is considered deprecated 16 weeks after the release day. There is an automatic deprecation shutdown feature which will halt the node some time after this 16 week time period. The automatic feature is based on block height.
