Fixed typeorder coercion rules for RAWSXP and LGLSXP to match base R #4195

Closes #4172

Base R coercion rules mean that raw are coerced to logical, not the other way round:

c(as.raw(0), TRUE)
# [1] FALSE  TRUE

This PR fixes the typeorder in src/init.c to match the base R coercion rules. This impacts rbindlist, which will now coerce a raw column to a logical column when binding these two together.

Raw should be coerced to logical, not the other way round, e.g. c(TRUE, as.raw(1)) == c(TRUE, TRUE) - this is because there is no NA type for raw, while logicals can be NA.
Fixes failing tests 2006.1, 2006.2, and 2129.
maxType is now initialised as -1, which is not a SEXPTYPE, and the typeorder detection is skipped if the column is NULL. Once looping over all data.tables to rbind, if maxType is still -1 we know that both/all columns are NULL, and to be filled with NA_logical_.

Noting merge conflict for this test with #4196.

To resolve, replace this line with:

DT3 = data.table(a=c(DT1$a, DT2$a), b=c(DT1$b, DT2$b), c=c(DT1$c, DT2$c),
                 d=c(DT1$d, DT2$d), e=c(DT1$e, DT2$e), f=c(DT1$f, DT2$f),
                 g=c(DT1$g, DT2$g), h=c(DT1$h, list(DT2$h)))

(i.e. because in this current PR coercion of any type with expression leads to an expression vector, while PR #4196 expects that column to be coerced to a list)
