Support DEPRECATED: global use of must_equal from ... Use _(obj).must_equal instead. This will fail in Minitest 6.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

While I'm working on googleapis/google-cloud-ruby#4884 , I've found that to prepare Ruby 3 keyword arguments support, minitest will require minitest/minitest#824 . I think it would mean the newer version of minitest will support Ruby 3.

On the other hand, gems under google-cloud-ruby repository lock the minitest version to use 5.11 or lower because minitest 5.12 shows DEPRECATED: global use of must_equal from must_equal.rb:28. Use _(obj).must_equal instead. This will fail in Minitest 6. Refer: https:/seattlerb/minitest/blob/master/History.rdoc#label-5.12.0+-2F+2019-09-22

I'm looking for some way to address this warning automatically to allow bump minitest version when it is ready to support Ruby 3 keyword arguments.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be appreciated rubocop-minitest gem auto-corrects this warning.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Rewrite the test code by myself.

Additional context

Here are the steps to reproduce.

• must_equal.rb

# frozen_string_literal: true

require 'bundler/inline'

gemfile(true) do
  source 'https://rubygems.org'
  git_source(:github) { |repo| "https:/#{repo}.git" }
  gem 'minitest'
end

# Avoid `Style/Documentation: Missing top-level class documentation comment.`
class Greeting
  def say_hello
    'Hello, World!'
  end

  def say_nothing; end
end

require 'minitest/autorun'
describe Greeting do
  before do
    @foo = Greeting.new
  end

  it 'must say hello world with a warning' do
    # Bad
    @foo.say_hello.must_equal 'Hello, World!'
  end

  it 'must say hello world without warning' do
    # Good
    _(@foo.say_hello).must_equal 'Hello, World!'
  end
end

• Result showing DEPRECATED: global use of must_equal from must_equal.rb:28. Use _(obj).must_equal instead. This will fail in Minitest 6.

I think it is reasonable to respond to official warnings.
