Introduce BOP_CMP for optimized comparison
Prior to this commit the `OPTIMIZED_CMP` macro relied on a method lookup
to determine whether `<=>` was overridden. The result of the lookup was
cached, but only for the duration of the specific method that
initialized the cmp_opt_data cache structure.
With this method lookup, `[x,y].max` is slower than doing `x > y ?
x : y` even though there's an optimized instruction for "new array max".
(John noticed somebody a proposed micro-optimization based on this fact
in https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/19903.)
```rb
a, b = 1, 2
Benchmark.ips do |bm|
bm.report('conditional') { a > b ? a : b }
bm.report('method') { [a, b].max }
bm.compare!
end
```
Before:
```
Comparison:
conditional: 22603733.2 i/s
method: 19820412.7 i/s - 1.14x (± 0.00) slower
```
This commit replaces the method lookup with a new CMP basic op, which
gives the examples above equivalent performance.
After:
```
Comparison:
method: 24022466.5 i/s
conditional: 23851094.2 i/s - same-ish: difference falls within
error
```
Relevant benchmarks show an improvement to Array#max and Array#min when
not using the optimized newarray_max instruction as well. They are
noticeably faster for small arrays with the relevant types, and the same
or maybe a touch faster on larger arrays.
```
$ make benchmark COMPARE_RUBY=<master@5958c305> ITEM=array_min
$ make benchmark COMPARE_RUBY=<master@5958c305> ITEM=array_max
```
The benchmarks added in this commit also look generally improved.
