gh-71339: Add additional assertion methods for unittest (GH-128707)

Add the following methods:

* assertHasAttr() and assertNotHasAttr()
* assertIsSubclass() and assertNotIsSubclass()
* assertStartsWith() and assertNotStartsWith()
* assertEndsWith() and assertNotEndsWith()

Also improve error messages for assertIsInstance() and
assertNotIsInstance().
