Added fast path to ERT explanation of `equal'.

* emacs-lisp/ert.el (ert--explain-equal): New function.
(ert--explain-equal-rec): Renamed from `ert--explain-not-equal'.
All callers changed.
(ert--explain-equal-including-properties): Renamed from
`ert--explain-not-equal-including-properties'.  All callers
changed.
* automated/ert-tests.el (ert-test-explain-not-equal-keymaps):
New test.
