ExpressionCompare::evaluate does not use Value::compare, does not handle heterogenous types (including numeric types) and some other comparison cases

    Description

      ExpressionCompare::evaluate cannot compare different types (including numeric types) and cannot compare some types at all (eg objects). Lacks some functionality of Value::compare.

      Test

      c = db.c;
      c.drop();
       
      c.save( { a:1, b:NumberLong(1) } );
      c.save( { a:NumberLong(1), b:NumberLong(1) } );
      c.save( { a:{q:1}, b:{q:1} } );
      printjson( c.aggregate( { $project:{ z:{ $eq:[ '$a', '$b' ] } } } ) );

      There are also some todo comments:

              /* TODO look into collapsing by using Value::compare() */

              // CW TODO at least for now.  later, handle automatic conversions

      Observed behavior: An assertion occurs when an attempt is made to compare numbers of different numeric types with an aggregation expression.
      Expected behavior: Different numeric types can be compared.
