 * Make an assertion that `actual` and `expected` are not equal, deeply.

 * Type parameter can be specified to ensure values under comparison have the same type.

 * @example Usage
 * ```ts ignore
 * import { assertNotEquals } from "@std/assert";
 *
 * assertNotEquals(1, 2); // Doesn't throw
 * assertNotEquals(1, 1); // Throws
 * ```
 *
 * @typeParam T The type of the values to compare.
 * @param actual The actual value to compare.
 * @param expected The expected value to compare.
 * @param msg The optional message to display if the assertion fails.
