Fix pybind __eq__ methods

[boxanm]

Description

Summary:

Fixed an unknown symbol error when importing libpointmatcher's Python bindings on arm64-based MacOS.
Also, fixed failing tests on new boost version.

Changes and type of changes (quick overview):

• When importing pypointmatcher in Python on arm64-based MacOS, I was getting this error:

"ImportError: dlopen(/Volumes/CaseSensitive/libpointmatcher/python/pypointmatcher/pypointmatcher_native.cpython-312-darwin.so, 0x0002): symbol not found in flat namespace '__ZNK14PointMatcherIOIfE10PLYElementeqERKS1_'"

Demangling the symbol error, it complains about this function:

bool PointMatcherIO<float>::PLYElement::operator==(const PointMatcherIO<float>::PLYElement&) const

• Following this discussion, I replaced the direct definitions of the __eq__ method with pybind11::self == pybind11::self and pybind11::self != pybind11::self and overwriting the C++ operator== and operator!= with friend functions.
• I think that the issue did not occur on Ubuntu distros due to different build tools, but I'm not certain. In any case, it solves the problem on MacOS.
