Subject: [PATCH] fix(table): restore expected behavior in table_matches (#49)

- The refactor in [Commit 4c460e0](https://github.com/CommunityOx/ox_lib/commit/4c460e0bd9792f6d337378968c84cf85d4033052) introduced stricter type checks (using table.type and array length comparison), which caused empty tables and tables with nil values to be considered unequal.
- This commit removes the strict shape checks and restores the original deep equality semantics, ensuring {} == {x=nil}.
