Add a test for equal-content embedded values.

sameIndexedValues now handles embedded values, but the new tests cover only scalar and array values. Add an embedded Document case that asserts index removal and writing are skipped when its contents are equal.

As per coding guidelines, **/*Test.java: Write unit tests for new features.

with an embedded Document value containing equal fields in the old, new, and
indexed documents, and verify NitriteIndexer.removeIndexEntry and
writeIndexEntry are never invoked, matching the existing array-value assertions.
