[issue46972] Documentation: Reference says AssertionError is raised by `assert`, but not all AssertionErrors are.

I concur with Eric. The existing documentation looks pretty clear to me. Any exception can be raised explicitly, no need to repeat this.

And unittest.TestCase methods do not raise AssertionError. They raise TestCase.failureException, which by default is set to AssertionError. It is specified in the corresponding module documentation.
