With the removal of Access::equals() in JDK-8230808, there's no longer any need to treat oop equality in a special way. Therefore, we can remove oopDesc::equals() and oopDesc::equals_raw().

Fix Request (11u)
This simplifies maintenance of 11u by dropping unnecessary API for Shenandoah that it does not really need. Patch does not apply cleanly to 11u, but it is simple. Acked by rkennke (who is formally not a Reviewer in 11u, so RFR needs another ack).
