cmm/CBE: Fix comparison between blocks of different lengths
Previously CBE computed equality by taking the lists of middle nodes of the blocks being compared and zipping them together. It would then map over this list with the equality relation, and accumulate the result. However, this is completely wrong: Consider what will happen when we compare a block with no middle nodes with one with one or more. The result of `zip` will be empty and consequently the pass may conclude that the two are indeed equivalent (if their last nodes also match). This is very bad and the cause of #14361. The solution I chose was just to write out an explicit recursion, like I distinctly recall considering doing when I first wrote this code. Unfortunately I was feeling clever at the time. Unfortunately this case was just rare enough not to be triggered by the testsuite. I still need to find a testcase that doesn't have external dependencies.
