Use C++20 three-way comparison everywhere

[tcbrindle]

C++20 adds the "spaceship" operator which not only gives us three-way comparison, but also provides information about whether a type is strongly, weakly, or only partially ordered.

Many Flux algorithms require that a comparator models a strict weak ordering over the elements of a sequence. Up until now (with the exception of the compare() function) we have followed the STL/ranges model of having our comparators returning bool if one element is "less than" other. With this PR, we now require that a comparator returns a value of type std::weak_ordering.

The goal is to help users writing "proper" comparators; with a bool-returning function, it's very easy to accidentally write a comparator which is not a proper strict weak order. While this is still possible in the new model, it seems like it would be far less likely.

One particular change is that it's no longer possible to sort a vector of floats or doubles using the default comparator, because floating point types are only partially ordered. This is by design. Floating point data that contains NaNs will break sort() and other functions that expect a weak ordering. With this change, users can now provide std::strong_order as a custom comparator to use the IEEE total order, or std::weak_order (which is the same, but treats positive and negative zero as equivalent), or std::weak_order_fallback to get the same behaviour as before if they're absolutely sure that the data does not contain NaNs.

Fixes #158
