Teach datum_image_eq() about cstring datums.

Bring datum_image_eq() in line with datumIsEqual() by adding support for
comparing cstring datums.

An upcoming patch that adds deduplication to the nbtree AM will use
datum_image_eq(). datum_image_eq() will need to work with all datatypes
that can be used as the storage type of a B-Tree index column, including
cstring. (cstring is used as the storage type for columns of type
"name" as a space-saving optimization.)
