Description

I want to be able to compare two different OpenApiSchema instances for equality. I think it would make sense to implement equality on all object model types so that they implement IEquatable<T> and override object.Equals and GetHashCode methods.

Research direction

Start by surveying the OpenAPI object model types, beginning with OpenApiSchema, and determine which models are in scope. Define the expected equality and hashing behavior before implementation; done means the intended object models support the requested comparisons with coverage for the behavior.
