SliceEqualT and MapEqualT #86
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm always frustrated when I try to check if 2 slices (or maps) are equal in a type-safe way.
Describe the solution you'd like
Equal handles slices and maps but EqualT can't be used in those cases as it doesn't compile. An extra SliceEqual, MapEqualT or similar name is needed.
Describe alternatives you've considered
SliceSubsetT, MapContainsT or ElementsMatchT are not the same. I'm looking for the equivalent of slices.Equal() and maps.Equal.

@Inuart yeah you raised the issue just the week I had picked to pour some more gas into the project… your ask was reasonable and simple to implement.
Now still have a few new things to do before I cut a v2.5 : https://go-openapi.github.io/testify/project/maintainers/roadmap/index.html
