Add assertion-error to allowed dependencies

The chai package uses and re-exports the AssertionError class from this package.

What version of chai does this? I checked latest and it doesn't list it as a dep, but maybe I missed something.

This affects at least the v5 branch. The package.json defines it as a dependency here: https://github.com/chaijs/chai/blob/5.x.x/package.json#L54

And I think that the re-export happens here: https://github.com/chaijs/chai/blob/445243d5e769c6b155e2a35e25a5f747afd2da88/lib/chai.js#L8-L19

In any case, I do seem to be able to access the AssertionError export (tested with v5.3.3):

// package.json
{
  "private": true,
  "type": "module",
  "name": "example",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "dependencies": {
    "chai": "^5"
  }
}

// index.js
import { AssertionError } from "chai";
console.log(AssertionError);

$ node index.js
[class AssertionError extends Error]

Only in npm and older yarn, since they hoist. Anyway, thanks for explaining.
