📄 Description

Motivation:

Currently, the condition for generating equals/hashCode/toString methods is "generated class declares properties". As a result, classes that don't declare properties inherit these methods from their generated superclasses. However, generated equals and toString methods aren't designed to be inherited and will either fail or produce wrong results when called for a subclass.
Currently, the condition for generating with methods is "class is not abstract". However, it isn't useful to generate with methods for non-instantiable non-abstract classes.
Currently, the condition for making classes serializable is "class is not a module class". However, it isn't useful to make non-instantiable non-module classes serializable, and it is useful to make instantiable module classes serializable.

Changes:
Change the condition for generating equals/hashCode/toString/with/Serializable to "class is instantiable". This is a breaking change.
(A generated class is instantiable, i.e., declares a public constructor, if it is neither abstract nor stateless. This behavior remains unchanged.)

Result:

Fixes all motivating issues.
Fixes #706.
