[Beginner]: Add `operator==` to `TokenTransfer`

[rwalworth]

🐥 Beginner Friendly

This issue is a great fit for contributors who are ready to explore the Hiero C++ codebase a little more and take on slightly more independent work.

Beginner Issues often involve reading existing C++ code, understanding how different parts of the SDK fit together, and making small, thoughtful updates that follow established patterns.

The goal is to support skill growth while keeping the experience approachable, well-scoped, and enjoyable.

👾 Description of the Issue

The TokenTransfer class is missing an operator== implementation.

Relevant files:

src/sdk/main/include/TokenTransfer.h
src/sdk/main/src/TokenTransfer.cc

Without operator==, callers must compare transfer objects field-by-field. Other SDK value types (e.g. TokenId, AccountId, PendingAirdropId) already implement operator== as a pattern — TokenTransfer should follow suit.

---

💡 Proposed Solution

Add operator== to TokenTransfer following the same pattern used by PendingAirdropId (a recently added, clean example):

• Declare a [[nodiscard]] friend bool operator==(const TokenTransfer&, const TokenTransfer&) in the header
• Implement it in TokenTransfer.cc, comparing all meaningful member fields:
  • mTokenId, mAccountId, mAmount, mExpectedDecimals, mIsApproval
• Add or extend the unit test file in src/sdk/tests/unit/TokenTransferTest.cc

The change should not affect any existing behavior or public API.

---

👩‍💻 Implementation Steps

• Read src/sdk/main/include/PendingAirdropId.h and src/sdk/main/src/PendingAirdropId.cc to understand the pattern
• Open src/sdk/main/include/TokenTransfer.h and add the friend declaration inside the class body
• Open src/sdk/main/src/TokenTransfer.cc and implement operator== comparing all five member fields
• Open src/sdk/tests/unit/TokenTransferTest.cc and add equality tests:
  • Two default-constructed instances are equal
  • Two identically-constructed instances are equal
  • Instances differing in each field are not equal
• Build the SDK and confirm all tests pass

---

✅ Acceptance Criteria

• Scope: Changes are limited to TokenTransfer.h, TokenTransfer.cc, and its unit test
• Behavior: No other SDK behavior or API changes
• Tests: Existing and new equality tests pass
• Review: All code review feedback addressed
