Ordinary interface types now satisfy comparable constraints. This
is a fully backward-compatible change: it simply permits additional
code to be valid that wasn't valid before.
This change makes the new comparable semantics the default behavior,
depending on the Go -lang version.
It also renames the flag types2.Config.AltComparableSemantics to
types2.Config.OldComparableSemantics and inverts its meaning
(or types.Config.oldComparableSemantics respectively).
Add new predicate Satisfies (matching the predicate Implements but
for constraint satisfaction), per the proposal description.
Adjust some existing tests by setting -oldComparableSemantics
and add some new tests that verify version-dependent behavior.
The compiler flag -oldcomparable may be used to temporarily
switch back to the Go 1.18/1.19 behavior should this change
cause problems, or to identify that a problem is unrelated
to this change. The flag will be removed for Go 1.21.
For #52509.
For #56548.
For #57011.
