Description

## Bug Report

Please answer these questions before submitting your issue. Thanks!

### 1. Minimal reproduce step (Required)

```
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM information_schema.tables WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'TABLES_PRIV'; -- 1
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM information_schema.tables
WHERE TABLE_NAME BETWEEN 'TABLES_PRIV' AND 'TABLES_PRIV'; -- 0 (!)
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM information_schema.tables
WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'TABLES_PRIV' AND TABLE_NAME > 'U'; -- 0
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM information_schema.tables
WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'TABLES_PRIV' AND TABLE_NAME < 'U'; -- 0 (trichotomy!)
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM information_schema.tables WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'tables'; -- 1
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM information_schema.tables WHERE TABLE_NAME <> 'tables'; -- 847 of 847
```

### 2. What did you expect to see? (Required)

equality predicates resolve through CIStr schema-object lookup (case-insensitive) while < / > / BETWEEN evaluate under the declared collation

```
mysql> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM information_schema.tables WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'tables'; -- 1
+----------+
| COUNT(*) |
+----------+
| 0 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
```
### 3. What did you see instead (Required)

```
mysql> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM information_schema.tables WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'tables'; -- 1
+----------+
| COUNT(*) |
+----------+
| 1 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
```
### 4. What is your TiDB version? (Required)

```
mysql> select tidb_version();
