…pare them (#13815) This fixes an issue with `pytest.approx` where the error message incorrectly reported all elements as mismatched when comparing mappings with different key orders, even when only some values differed. The original code paired values by position rather than by key. This caused incorrect mismatch reporting when dictionary keys were in different orders. Fixes #12444 (cherry picked from commit e95a843)
