Fixes #38888 .

This test has been failing sporadically recently e.g. https://github.com/sagemath/sage/actions/runs/11733902583/job/32689016794?pr=38938 .

From my understanding of simplicial set, the two sigma_1 are actually representing two different cells (the wedge looks like a "8" shape), but because they both come from S1 (the 1-sphere i.e. circle), they get the same name.

SageMath does some magic during doctest so that dict entries are sorted, but the problem is

        At this point, comparison between v and w is random, based on
        their location in memory. ::

so with some chance it fails.

This change should make it deterministic --- since the two faces are named sigma_1 and sigma_1', the comparison should be by custom name…?

This is obviously #38889 instead.

By the way, GitHub Actions doesn't seem to be able to report test failure to the GitHub interface?
