Recursive data structures in Java API classes

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Some Java API classes contain recursive data structures. If you include one of 
these in as a field, EqualsVerifier complains about it, even if the class isn't 
part of the equals/hashCode contract.

You can work around it by adding them to the prefabValues manually. However, 
this isn't very nice. It would be better if EqualsVerifier already contained 
prefabValues for these classes.

Classes for which this applies:
* java.util.Date
* java.util.regex.Pattern
* more?

* HashMap / HashMap.Entry
* WeakHashMap / WeakHashMap.Entry
* more maps/collections?

It's actually become quite a list. Most Map, Queue and Set implementations were 
affected, as well as (Gregorian)Calendar, Locale, Scanner, and several others.

I think I got most of them now.
