Use assertEqual instead of deprecated assertEquals

Use self.assertEqual in tests instead of self.assertEquals.

For historical reasons, some TestCase methods had one or more aliases that are now deprecated.

Use the standardised assertEqual so the code is simpler, easier to read, and more future-proof (because an implication of deprecation is it will eventually be removed).

If we spot this issue in your GitHub pull request we give this advice:
