> Add comparator function to equal_to

> Priority: Minor
>
> The equal_to function provided by testing/util.py
> (https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/master/sdks/python/apache_beam/testing/util.py#L54)
> assumes that the actual and expected lists can be sorted using Python's
> sorted method (which relies on the < operator) and compared using the ==
> operator.
> If this isn't the case, equal_to sometimes reports False incorrectly, when
> the expected and actual lists are in different orders.
> Add a comparator function to equal_to in order to allow callers to define a
> total order.
