[expect-expect] support chained function names

[see #418 for previous discussion]

Currently expect/expect doesn’t recognize supertest or sinon assertions. For example:

const spy = sinon.spy()
it('should work as expected', async () => {
  // test code here

  sinon.assert.calledOnce(spy);
});

Adding sinon (or calledOnce) into the assertFunctionNames configuration block doesn’t get recognized, so it would be cool to:

• Be able to supply full, chained, functions to assertFunctionNames like sinon.assert.calledOnce.
• It would also be neat to be able to do the same but with a glob-style syntax. Something to the effect of sinon.assert.* or for supertest cases, request.*.expect.

Yeah I was pretty sure I’d already implemented that for this exact reason 😄

While I understand why globbing sounds useful, I feel like it could be an easy footgun since it could result in non-assertion method being counted by mistake.

Plus as soon as you have “globbing” people generally expect it to work in a similar way to how it does everywhere else, so we’d have to add a new dependency for something like micromatch or globby.

None of these are a hard no, but I’ll have it on the backburner for now, and have a think.
