Specialize `PartialOrd<A> for [A] where A: Ord`

This way we can call `cmp` instead of `partial_cmp` in the loop,
removing some burden of optimizing `Option`s away from the compiler.

PR #39538 introduced a regression where sorting slices suddenly became
slower, since `slice1.lt(slice2)` was much slower than
`slice1.cmp(slice2) == Less`. This problem is now fixed.

To verify, I benchmarked this simple program:
```rust
fn main() {
    let mut v = (0..2_000_000).map(|x| x * x * x * 18913515181).map(|x| vec![x, x ^ 3137831591]).collect::<Vec<_>>();
    v.sort();
}
```

Before this PR, it would take 0.95 sec, and now it takes 0.58 sec.
I also tried changing the `is_less` lambda to use `cmp` and
`partial_cmp`. Now all three versions (`lt`, `cmp`, `partial_cmp`) are
equally performant for sorting slices - all of them take 0.58 sec on the
benchmark.
