Checks if a Layout object is equal to some other object, which normally is another Layout object. It could however also be a list with the same fields as a Layout object.
A layout is equal to another layout if it has 1) the same number of rows and columns of grids as the other object, 2) the same number of rows and columns of spots as the other object.

   layout1 <- Layout(4,4, 18,18)
   layout2 <- Layout(4,4, 18,18)
   layout3 <- Layout(4,4, 16,16)
   equals(layout1, layout1)   # TRUE (of course)
   equals(layout1, layout2)   # TRUE
   equals(layout2, layout1)   # TRUE (symmetric)
   equals(layout1, layout3)   # FALSE
   equals(layout2, layout3)   # FALSE
