Improve detection of no-op edge edits in ApplicationTransactions

Description

Improve detection of no-op edge edits in ApplicationTransactions

Summary:
Ref T4379. When you add a redundant edge, we currently compare the values strictly, using ===. However, the old and new versions of the edge have slightly different member data, because one has been synthetically constructed and one has been read from the database.

Instead, compare only the things we actually care about:

  1. Were any destintations added or removed?
  2. Was any edge data changed?

If the answer to both questions is "no", consider the update a no-op.

Test Plan: In the next diff, I'm making project members use the EDGE transaction type. Before this change, adding an existing project member would generate a transaction with no changes. Now, it is correctly detected as a no-op, while normal transactions continue to work properly.
