Replace isValid() calls with assert()
There's more value on showing how `assert()` displays the validation
messages than simply showing if `isValid()` returns `true` or `false`.

However, that increases the chances of having outdated documentation, so
I created a doc linter that updates the Markdown files with the
correct message.

# File
- `File()`
Validates whether file input is as a regular filename.
```php
v::file()->assert(__FILE__);
// Validation passes successfully
v::file()->assert(__DIR__);
// → "/path/to/dir" must be a valid file
```
This validator will consider SplFileInfo instances, so you can do something like:
```php
v::file()->assert(new SplFileInfo('/path/to/file.txt'));
// Validation passes successfully
```
