Add Compare method which forwards calls to Cmp (#346)

Given the interface definition

	type Ordered[T any] interface {
		Compare(T) int
	}

And the type constraint T Ordered[T], make decimal.Decimal satisfy this
constraint, so that generic code written against T Ordered[T] can work
with decimal values as smoothly as it works with time.Time values today.

Fixes: #345
