openpgp: Define equality using the serialized OpenPGP form.
- All packets should be considered equal if the serialized OpenPGP
form is equal, modulo framing (i.e. CTB type, packet length
encoding, partial body chunking).
- In cases this may lead to surprising outcomes, discuss this in the
documentation, and provide additional equality predicates.
- Fixes #92.
