> Blobs shouldn't be Comparable

>
> In OAK-350 Blobs were made Comparable to make them easier to compare in
> higher-level code.
> Unfortunately the implementation is broken ({{compareTo}} is not transitive)
> and potentially very slow for large binaries, which suggests that it
> shouldn't be exposed at least on the public API level.
> Thus I suggest to drop the Comparable feature from Blobs and replace the few
> places where it is needed with {{equals()}} checks or explicit scanning of
> the streams.
