+ Compare two items using a given collation
+
+ SYNOPSIS
+ eq_by_collation()
+ item item to compare with
+ binary_cmp TRUE <-> compare as binaries
+ cs collation to use when comparing strings
+
+ DESCRIPTION
+ This method works exactly as Item::eq if the collation cs coincides with
+ the collation of the compared objects. Otherwise, first the collations that
+ differ from cs are replaced for cs and then the items are compared by
+ Item::eq. After the comparison the original collations of items are
+ restored.
+
+ RETURN
+ 1 compared items has been detected as equal
+ 0 otherwise
