Added support for comparing PermissionOverwrites

When trying to check if a specific permission overwrite is already set on a channel, it can be done by fetching the already existing overwrite and comparing it with a one you want to set. Comparing them directly wasn't possible before, and this small change allows for that.
Could be expanded for other comparison operators, not sure how it would work though.
