Simple data types in System.Posix.IO should have Eq, Ord, etc. instances

When trying to use OpenMode in a Data.Map key, I noticed that it's not an instance of Ord or even Eq. Nor are OpenFileFlags, FdOption, LockRequest. I don't see particularly meaningful orderings for them, but meaningless orderings would be useful nonetheless.
