Make table instances created with the same arguments evaluate equal to each other

[akettmann-e24]

Two table objects with the same arguments do not evaluate as equal. This makes unit testing and comparing calls to Client.insert_rows more complicated than necessary.

Environment details

• OS type and version: Fedora 32
• Python version: 3.9.5
• pip version: 21.1.3
• google-cloud-bigquery version: 2.23.2

Steps to reproduce

1. Create table with set of args
2. Create separate instance of table with same set of args
3. Test equality t1 == t2
4. returns false

Code example

from google.cloud.bigquery import Table
t1 = Table('project.dataset.table')
t2 = Table('project.dataset.table')
t1 == t2
# returns: False

That sounds reasonable, we could indeed implement custom comparison logic for Table classes.

(treating this as a feature request rather than a bug)

Makes sense to me! Wasn't sure which way I should put it in, but I figured if I am hitting it I am likely not the only one.
