In contrast to equals, identical now also checks that any inherited variables are inherited on both objects. However, they do not need to be inherited from the same source. This aligns the behavior of identical with the DataTree __repr__.
I've also removed the from_root argument from equals and identical. If a user wants to compare trees from their roots, a better (simpler) inference is to simply call these methods on the .root properties. I would also like to remove the strict_names argument, but that will require switching to use the new zip_subtrees (#9623) first.
