#3 Field-driven testing in EqualsMethodTester

[g.williamson]

Currently EqualsMethodTester only tests the significance of properties that have both a public getter and setter method. This is because its object manipulation logic is built on top of existing getter/setter manipulation logic used in the BeanTester. Using existing logic allowed rapid delivery of the majority of functionality. However, it is a limitation and it should be addressed. The fields of a class should instead be used to drive the test, rather than its public getter/setter methods.
