MeshCoord cannot compare with an 'equivalent' ordinary AuxCoord #4671
Description
The definitive metadata of a MeshCoord is just mesh, location + axis.
These can be leniently compared with another one, e.g. to fetch the matching coord from a cube on a different mesh :
For example...
>>> import iris.tests.stock.mesh as ism
>>> cube1 = ism.sample_mesh_cube(mesh=ism.sample_mesh(n_nodes=10, n_faces=3, n_edges=0))
>>> cube2 = ism.sample_mesh_cube(mesh=ism.sample_mesh(n_nodes=10, n_faces=4, n_edges=0))
>>> co = cube1.coord('latitude')
>>> co
<MeshCoord: latitude / (unknown) mesh(<Mesh object at 0x7ff8906fc580>) location(face) [...]+bounds shape(3,)>
>>> cube2.coord(co)
<MeshCoord: latitude / (unknown) mesh(<Mesh object at 0x7ff8906cbdf0>) location(face) [...]+bounds shape(4,)>
>>>
However, a MeshCoord can be "reduced" to an equivalent AuxCoord (i.e. with same names, units, points + bounds).
This happens automatically when a cube is sub-indexed, e.g. "meshcube[..., 2]" or just "meshcube[..., 0:]".
However, the AuxCoord can never "compare with" the original, since the metadata structure is too different.
Hence, code analagous to the above won't work...
>>> import iris.tests.stock.mesh as ism
>>> cube = ism.sample_mesh_cube()
>>> cube1 = ism.sample_mesh_cube()
>>> cube2 = cube1[..., 0:]
>>> co1 = cube1.coord('latitude')
>>> co1
<MeshCoord: latitude / (unknown) mesh(<Mesh object at 0x7ff8906590a0>) location(face) [...]+bounds shape(3,)>
>>> co2 = cube2.coord('latitude')
>>> co2
<AuxCoord: latitude / (unknown) [3200, 3201, 3202]+bounds shape(3,)>
>>> cube2.coord(co1)

I.E. you cannot find the "equivalent" coord in this way, when one is a MeshCoord and the other a 'normal' Coord.
However, that does work for a "normal" cube, including finding matching coords of a different type i.e. DimCoord <-> AuxCoord.
This is likely to cause problems in some generic operations, e.g. regridding.
