make explicit that axes comparisons in tests ignore indices

[matthias314]

This PR was suggested by @nsajko in JuliaLang/julia#54825. Currently Julia compares ranges only by comparing their values, not their indices, although they should also be taken into account for AbstractVector. The tests in OffsetArrays.jl rely on this special behavior. This PR makes this explicit. It does not fix the broken mapreduce test mentioned in #353.

We may use no_offset_view here to generate the offset-free axis.

[matthias314]

Good point. I'm now using no_offset_view, and I've renamed axes_values to no_offset_axes.

If one wanted to have it really fancy, one could define a new operator, for example ≅, that compares ranges and tuples of ranges without looking at the indices. That's not done at present.

The failing test is the unrelated mapreduce issue JuliaLang/julia#55506.

[jishnub]

It's a different issue related to floating-point precision, but indeed unrelated to this PR.
