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However, that increases the chances of having outdated documentation, so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.

# StringVal
- `StringVal()`
Validates whether the input can be used as a string.
```php
v::stringVal()->assert('6');
// Validation passes successfully
v::stringVal()->assert('String');
// Validation passes successfully
v::stringVal()->assert(1.0);
// Validation passes successfully
v::stringVal()->assert(42);
// Validation passes successfully
v::stringVal()->assert(false);
// Validation passes successfully
v::stringVal()->assert(true);
// Validation passes successfully
v::stringVal()->assert(new ClassWithToString());
// Validation passes successfully
```
