The SortSlices and SortMaps options predate generics and
accept an interface{}, so it is possible with reflection to support other function signatures than "func(T, T) bool".

In particular, the Go ecosystem is increasingly moving towards "func(T, T) int" as the signature for ordering as evidenced by the newer slices.SortFunc function in stdlib.

Thus, modernize cmpopts by supporting "func(T, T) int".

Fixes #365

Also, bump the minimum version to Go 1.21 to match
the minimum supported version of google.golang.org/protobuf.

CI are hosed and I don't have permissions to fix them, so you may need to merge on my behalf.
