Issue:
Prefer expanding RHS of item assignment over LHS
Hi guys, first of all thanks for this amazing tool! Glad to see it taking the Python world by storm.

This is a fairly minor style change request.

The formatting I take issue with occurs during item assignment. When the assignment exceeds the line length and the RHS has no "required" parentheses to break on, it chooses to break on the square brackets on the LHS of the assignment:

```py
# CURRENT BEHAVIOUR
# in:

some_dictionary["some_key"] = some_long_expression_causing_long_line

# out:

some_dictionary[
    "some_key"
] = some_long_expression_causing_long_line
```

Personally I think this is really ugly - looking at this expression, it is not immediately obvious that an **assignment** is happening, since the `=` is moved to the 3rd line. Of all the non-blacked code I've ever read, not one line has ever been formatted like that, which tells me it's not totally human-friendly.

My desired result for the above input would be like the following:

```py
# DESIRED BEHAVIOUR
some_dictionary["some_key"] = (
    some_long_expression_causing_long_line
)
```

Obviously for the cases where my desired behaviour would still result in the 1st line being longer than the desired line length, the current behaviour should be applied.

My current workaround for this styling caveat is to use `dict.update()` instead (though obviously this isn't a general solution since `__setitem__` is not exclusive to MutableMappings):

```py
some_dictionary.update(
    some_key=some_long_expression_causing_long_line,
)
```


Discussion:
FYI-- I'm working on a PR to make this change.

https://github.com/psf/black/issues/445#issuecomment-1287537807 mentions the same issue where the LHS is a tuple.
