Implement equals() for synthesized annotations [SPR-13065]

[spring-projects-issues]

Sam Brannen opened SPR-13065 and commented

#16137 introduced support for annotation attribute aliases by synthesizing annotations; however, synthesized annotations currently do not properly implement equals() which can lead to unexpected errors. For example, a synthesized annotation is not even equal to itself.
