fix(tvix/eval): never use partial_cmp() (partial fix b/338) r/7166
This is part of a fix for b/338.

We should never use PartialOrd::partial_cmp().

All Nix types except floats are obviously totally-ordered.  In
addition, it turns out that because Nix treats division by zero
rather than producing a NaN, and because it does not support
"negative zero", even floats are in fact totally ordered in Nix.

Therefore, every call to PartialOrd::partial_cmp() in tvix is an
error.  We have to *implement* this function, but we should never
call it on built-in types.

Moreover, nix_cmp_ordering() currently returns an Option<Ordering>.
I'm not sure what was going on there, since it's impossible for it
to return None.  This commit fixes it to return simply Ordering
rather than Option<Ordering>.
