chore: use derive for eq checks

[turip]

Overview

This patch adds https://github.com/awalterschulze/goderive for generating equality checks. I would want to have this approach instead of manually writing the equality checks as they are less error prone.

In theory it can also be used to generate the clone methods, however there's a bug with time handling, so that is not something I would do right now: awalterschulze/goderive#91.

Right now we cannot use reflect.deepequals for equality checks as for example alpacadecimal when in fallback mode (e.g. uses the shopspring decimal) uses an exponential representation of the number, for example 8*2^2 (==32). However the library does not normalize the exponent, so it can be also represented as 32*2^0. These values are not deepequal, however the type's Equal member returns the good value.
