Use `partial_cmp` to implement tuple `lt`/`le`/`ge`/`gt`
In today's implementation, `(A, B)::gt` contains calls to *both* `A::eq` *and* `A::gt`.
That's fine for primitives, but for things like `String`s it's kinda weird -- `(String, usize)::gt` has a call to both `bcmp` and `memcmp` (<https://rust.godbolt.org/z/7jbbPMesf>) because when `bcmp` says the `String`s aren't equal, it turns around and calls `memcmp` to find out which one's bigger.
This PR changes the implementation to instead implement `(A, …, C, Z)::gt` using `A::partial_cmp`, `…::partial_cmp`, `C::partial_cmp`, and `Z::gt`. (And analogously for `lt`, `le`, and `ge`.) That way expensive comparisons don't need to be repeated.
Technically this is an observable change on stable, so I've marked it `needs-fcp` + `T-libs-api` and will
r? rust-lang/libs-api
I'm hoping that this will be non-controversial, however, since it's very similar to the observable changes that were made to the derives (#81384#98655) -- like those, this only changes behaviour if a type overrode behaviour in a way inconsistent with the rules for the various traits involved.
(The first commit here is #108156, adding the codegen test, which I used to make sure this doesn't regress behaviour for primitives.)
