BUG: Unexpected behavior of setting item to DataFrame slice
- [x] I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

- [x] I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

- [ ] (optional) I have confirmed this bug exists on the master branch of pandas.

**Note**: Please read [this guide](https://matthewrocklin.com/blog/work/2018/02/28/minimal-bug-reports) detailing how to provide the necessary information for us to reproduce your bug.

#### Code Sample, a copy-pastable example

```python
df = pd.DataFrame(data={'col1': [1, 2], 'col2': [3, 4], 'col3': [6, 7]})
df[1:] = [1, 2, 3]
```

#### Problem description

I get the `ValueError: cannot set using a slice indexer with a different length than the value`, when running the above code snippet. However, when running the following one, the error doesn't appear:

```python
df = pd.DataFrame(data={'col1': [1, 2], 'col2': [3, 4], 'col3': [6, 7]})
df[1:] = ['a', 'b', 'c']
df[1:] = [1, 2, 3]
```
Looks like assigning value to slice have different behavior depending on type on the value, which doesn't seem to be intended and is not documented. 

Another example is:

```python
df = pd.DataFrame(data={'col1': [1, 2], 'col2': [3, 4], 'e': [6, 7]})
df[1:] = ['a', 'b', 'c']
df[pd.DataFrame({'col1': [True, True], 'col2': [False, True]})] = [2, 3, 4]
```

raises `ValueError: cannot assign mismatch length to masked array` for line 3, but this code doesn't:

```python
df = pd.DataFrame(data={'col1': [1, 2], 'col2': [3, 4], 'e': [6, 7]})
df[pd.DataFrame({'col1': [True, True], 'col2': [False, True]})] = [2, 3, 4]
```

#### Expected Output

Exceptions thrown should be the same regardless of the previous calls on the given data frame. If assigning value of array of strings have some special meaning, it should be documented. String array assignment shouldn't change behavior of succeeding calls.

#### Output of ``pd.show_versions()``
