/**
* ### .addLengthGuard(fn, assertionName, isChainable)
*
* Define `length` as a getter on the given uninvoked method assertion. The
* getter acts as a guard against chaining `length` directly off of an uninvoked
* method assertion, which is a problem because it references `function`'s
* built-in `length` property instead of Chai's `length` assertion. When the
* getter catches the user making this mistake, it throws an error with a
* helpful message.
*
* There are two ways in which this mistake can be made. The first way is by
* chaining the `length` assertion directly off of an uninvoked chainable
* method. In this case, Chai suggests that the user use `lengthOf` instead. The
* second way is by chaining the `length` assertion directly off of an uninvoked
* non-chainable method. Non-chainable methods must be invoked prior to
* chaining. In this case, Chai suggests that the user consult the docs for the
* given assertion.
*
* If the `length` property of functions is unconfigurable, then return `fn`
* without modification.
*
* Note that in ES6, the function's `length` property is configurable, so once
* support for legacy environments is dropped, Chai's `length` property can
* replace the built-in function's `length` property, and this length guard will
* no longer be necessary. In the mean time, maintaining consistency across all
* environments is the priority.
