Changes to lowerBound/upperBound/equalRange

The old definitions had some problems:

  • In lowerBound, the lhs (left hand side) argument was passed on the
  • right hand side.
  • In upperBound, the greaterThan function needed to return
  • greaterThanOrEqual for the function work, so either the name or the
  • implementation is incorrect.
  • To fix both problems, define the functions in terms of a lessThan function that returns lhs < rhs.
  • The is more consistent with the rest of sort.zig and it's also how C++ implements lower/upperBound (1)(2).
  • (1) https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/algorithm/lower_bound
  • (2) https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/algorithm/upper_bound
  • Rewrite doc comments.
  • Add a couple of more test cases.
  • Add docstring for std.sort.binarySearch
