Bug description:  Expose function in Zend API for comparing arrays by identity

Description:
------------
I'm using the embed SAPI, and I came across an issue when using
zend_hash_compare().

I wanted to use the provided hash_zval_compare_function() as the callback
function for the compar parameter. However, I cannot use this, since it is
not exposed. I could use zend_compare_arrays(), but it doesn't allow me to
pass in a 1 as the value of the ordered parameter sent to
zend_hash_compare(). Since I want to compare arrays like comparing with the
identity operator, then I need to use zend_hash_compare() and create my own
callback that does exactly what hash_zval_compare_function() does, thus
reinventing the wheel.

Either:

1) Expose hash_zval_compare_function() so it can be used by third-party
apps

- or -

2) Make a second version of zend_compare_arrays() that allows you to
compare arrays by identity (i.e. zend_compare_arrays_identity()?)
