This patch improves the algorithm to sort lists in base.
It does so using two strategies:

1) Use a four-way-merge instead of the 'default' two-way-merge.
This is able to save comparisons and allocations.

2) Use `(>) a b` over `compare a b == GT` and allow inlining and specialization.
This mainly benefits types with a fast (>).

Note that this *may* break instances with a *malformed* Ord instance
where `a > b` is *not* equal to `compare a b == GT`.
