fix(dav): wrong comparison method between two events

Old comparison implementation compares each element of the array against each other with no respect for the associated array label, which leads to wrongful removals because one value is accidentally present in a completely different label. New comparison works 'by-label' individually.

Partly fixes #41084 because changes between 'SEQUENCE' not present, 'SEQUENCE:0' and 'SEQUENCE:1' were not detected in the old implementation and thus no email update sent.
