There were previously no tests around Dashboard serialization to protobuf, so this patch adds coverage for that. Also, the `go-cmp` package has been introduced to replace our usage of `reflect.DeepEqual` going forward because it has better comparison features that make it more stable across Go versions and produces nice diffs in tests when they fail, reducing the need for debug lines and manual inspection. |

Package for equality of Go values
This package is intended to be a more powerful and safer alternative to
reflect.DeepEqual for comparing whether two values are semantically equal.
The primary features of cmp are:
-
When the default behavior of equality does not suit the needs of the test, custom equality functions can override the equality operation. For example, an equality function may report floats as equal so long as they are within some tolerance of each other.
-
Types that have an
Equalmethod may use that method to determine equality. This allows package authors to determine the equality operation for the types that they define. -
If no custom equality functions are used and no
Equalmethod is defined, equality is determined by recursively comparing the primitive kinds on both values, much likereflect.DeepEqual. Unlikereflect.DeepEqual, unexported fields are not compared; they result in panics unless suppressed by using anIgnoreoption.
This is not an official Google product.
