Change subject: core: findbugs: Organize equals(Object) overrides ...................................................................... core: findbugs: Organize equals(Object) overrides exclude-filters-general.xml excludes all warnings about not overriding equals(Object), which is a dangerous and bug-prone practice. This patch tries to reconcile this approach, and make sense of the exclusions. This patch includes: 1. Removed the equals(Object) and hashCode() from VdcActionParametersBase, as it is never used and (almost) none of the parameter classes override it, meaning that any equality check between parameter classes would be bogus. 2. Removed equals(Object) and hashCode() from RemoveNetworkParameters, as they are useless (see (1) for details), and depend on the VdcActionParametersBase's implementation which was removed anyway. 3. Implement equals(Object) and hashCode() that were missing from ExtendedVmDynamic. This mistake of omission goes to prove how this suppression was a bad idea. 4. Explicitly exclude the missing equals(Object) implementation for PolicyUnitImpl and NetworkPolicyUnit as they are not trivial to implement, and the current code base is proven to work without them. 5. Remove the all-out exclusion of unimplemented equals(Object) methods from exclude-filters-general.xml to avoid bugs like the one described in (3).
