 Restore old names of comparison primops

 In 6579a6c we removed existing comparison primops and introduced new ones
 returning Int# instead of Bool. This commit (and associated commits in
 array, base, dph, ghc-prim, integer-gmp, integer-simple, primitive,
 testsuite and
 template-haskell) restores old names of primops. This allows us to keep
 our API cleaner at the price of not having backwards compatibility.

 This patch also temporalily disables fix for #8317 (optimization of
 tagToEnum# at Core level). We need to fix #8326 first, otherwise
 our primops code will be very slow.
