Code generated from proto file has conflict with object.Equals()

[victlu]

Using grpc.tools to generate c# code for proto message MetricConfigResponse.Schedule.Pattern results in compiler conflict on object.Equals(object?).

C:\Users\Victor\src\victlu-opentelemetry-dotnet\test\Benchmarks-Proto\obj\Debug\net5.0\opentelemetry\proto\metrics\experimental\MetricsConfigService.cs(846,27): warning CS0108: 'MetricConfigResponse.Types.Schedule.Types.Pattern.Equals' hides inherited member 'object.Equals(object?)'. Use the new keyword if hiding was intended. [C:\Users\Victor\src\victlu-opentelemetry-dotnet\test\Benchmarks-Proto\protobench.csproj]
C:\Users\Victor\src\victlu-opentelemetry-dotnet\test\Benchmarks-Proto\obj\Debug\net5.0\opentelemetry\proto\metrics\experimental\MetricsConfigService.cs(888,34): error CS0102: The type 'MetricConfigResponse.Types.Schedule.Types.Pattern' already contains a definition for 'Equals' [C:\Users\Victor\src\victlu-opentelemetry-dotnet\test\Benchmarks-Proto\protobench.csproj]

In file proto\metrics\experimental\metrics_config_service.proto the string equals = 1 in the following message is the root cause:

    message Pattern {
      oneof match {
        string equals = 1;       // matches the metric name exactly
        string starts_with = 2;  // prefix-matches the metric name
      }
    }

Options:

• Ask SIG to rename equals to something else
• Remove this proto file since it's in experimental folder
• Try to look for config/settings for grpc.tool to remap this field

@alanwest can you confirm if we can close this issue ? we dont use experimental protos anyway?
