Ichthyostega 7ed8486774 Library: rework detection of ''same object'' ...

We use the memory address to detect reference to ''the same language object.''
While primarily a testing tool, this predicate is also used in the
core application at places, especially to prevent self-assignment
and to handle custom allocations.

It turns out that actually we need two flavours for convenient usage
 - `isSameObject` uses strict comparison of address and accepts only references
 - `isSameAdr` can also accept pointers and even void*, but will dereference pointers
This leads to some further improvements of helper utilities related to memory addresses...
