“hazlo cobarde”

Add the 3 way comparison instruction <=> to LLVM.

I like this GSoC in particular because

• I will learn a wide swath of LLVM

• I’ll be working with a lot of optimization passes

• I’ll get to bring cool perf to C++/Rust and Julia

• I was dared by the other, more talented Miguel to actually help improve LLVM

Next task

Add a new intrinsic – Langref, then Intrinsics.td, then maybe the pass verifier.

I’ve already put up a sample PR and got redirected on what looks like the proper working path for this endeavour.
