34739	Implement GEOSEqualsIdentical method on geometry objects.	Olivier Tabone	Olivier Tabone	"Recently released GEOS 3.12.0 exposes GEOSEqualsIdentical functions to compare geometries.

This is not the same comparaison function as the ones already implemented: GEOSEquals / GEOSEqualsExact.

See [https://github.com/libgeos/geos/pull/810 GEOS PR] for rationale.

GEOSEqualsIdentical is a good fit for equality of geometries and this ticket would be a first step in the resolution of #25342.

This ticket would implement a method on geometry `GEOSGeometryBase.equals_identical()` that calls GEOSEqualsIdentical if available.

Assessing the compatibility with GEOS 3.12.0 is discussed in #34686.
