 Comparison primops return Int# (Fixes #6135)

 This patch modifies all comparison primops for Char#, Int#, Word#,
 Double#,
 Float# and Addr# to return Int# instead of Bool. A value of 1# represents
 True
 and 0# represents False. For a more detailed description of motivation for
 this
 change, discussion of implementation details and benchmarking results
 please
 visit the wiki page: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/PrimBool

 There's also some cleanup: whitespace fixes in files that were extensively
 edited
 in this patch and constant folding rules for Integer div and mod operators
 (which
 for some reason have been left out up till now).
