fix(equals): compare integers by value, not by raw text

The == and != operators matched the raw text of two scalars, so the same
integer written in a different base never matched: `0x10 == 16`,
`0o644 == 420` and `1_000 == 1000` were all false.

This contradicted yq's own comparison operators, which parse those
formats and agree the values are equal - for `0o644`, both `> 419` and
`< 421` are true, yet `== 420` was false. It also contradicted the
documented "Match number" behaviour of `==`.

Give ==/!= the same !!int/!!int branch the comparison operators already
have: parse both sides with the existing parseInt64 helper and compare
the resulting int64s. If either side does not fit in an int64, fall back
to the previous raw match rather than raising a new error. String
globbing, floats and null handling are unchanged.

Fixes #1977
