 def test_get_operation_on_non_existing_attribute_must_not_raise_exception(

 ):

__eq__ operator raises attribute error on non-cloudevent values
## Expected Behavior
Given a non-cloudevent value will return false

## Actual Behavior
raises an `AttributeError`

## Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. create an event
2. compare it to an integer

```python
from cloudevents.http import CloudEvent

attributes = {
    "source": "test",
    "type": "google.cloud.audit.log.v1.written",
}
event = CloudEvent(attributes)
event == 1
```

## Specifications

- Platform: Windows
- Python Version: Python 3.9
