PHPUnit contains a variety of assertions and the ones available have been extended hugely over the years. To have the most reliable tests, the most specific assertion should be used. Most notably, this changes calls to `assertEquals()` to `assertSame()`, where `assertEquals()` does a loose type comparison `==` and `assertSame()` does a strict type `===` comparison. The only real exception to this is when comparing two objects, as in that case, the objectID will not be the same, so those should still use `assertEquals()` - or the PHPUnit 9.4.0 `assertObjectEquals()` method for comparing value objects using a callback method in the ValueObject class.
The custom `assertEqualsBin2Hex()` assertion was using `assertEquals()` as well. When changing this to `assertSame()`, it makes sense to also change the custom assertion method name to `assertSameBin2Hex()` and adjust all calls to the method.
