On a hash miss we need to call default if it is redefined in order to
return the default value to be used. Previously we checked this with
rb_method_basic_definition_p, which avoids the method call but requires
a method lookup.
This commit replaces the previous check with BASIC_OP_UNREDEFINED_P and
a new BOP_DEFAULT. We still need to fall back to
rb_method_basic_definition_p when called on a subclasss of hash.

We want to hint to the compiler that it's likely that the BOP is
unredefined (the bit is 0). Previously we were accidentally hinting to
the compiler that it was non-zero due to a misplaced parenthesis.
Prior to this commit the `OPTIMIZED_CMP` macro relied on a method lookup
to determine whether `<=>` was overridden. The result of the lookup was
cached, but only for the duration of the specific method that
initialized the cmp_opt_data cache structure.
With this method lookup, `[x,y].max` is slower than doing `x > y ?
x : y` even though there's an optimized instruction for "new array max".
(John noticed somebody a proposed micro-optimization based on this fact
in https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/19903.)
```rb
a, b = 1, 2
Benchmark.ips do |bm|
bm.report('conditional') { a > b ? a : b }
bm.report('method') { [a, b].max }
bm.compare!
end
```
Before:
```
Comparison:
conditional: 22603733.2 i/s
method: 19820412.7 i/s - 1.14x (± 0.00) slower
```
This commit replaces the method lookup with a new CMP basic op, which
gives the examples above equivalent performance.
After:
```
Comparison:
method: 24022466.5 i/s
conditional: 23851094.2 i/s - same-ish: difference falls within
error
```
Relevant benchmarks show an improvement to Array#max and Array#min when
not using the optimized newarray_max instruction as well. They are
noticeably faster for small arrays with the relevant types, and the same
or maybe a touch faster on larger arrays.
```
$ make benchmark COMPARE_RUBY=<master@5958c305> ITEM=array_min
$ make benchmark COMPARE_RUBY=<master@5958c305> ITEM=array_max
```
The benchmarks added in this commit also look generally improved.

This commit moves ruby_basic_operators and the unredefined macros out of
vm_core.h and into basic_operators.h so that we can use them more
broadly in places where we currently use a method look up via
`rb_method_basic_definition_p` (e.g. object.c, numeric.c, complex.c,
enum.c, but also in internal/compar.h after introducing BOP_CMP and
elsewhere if we introduce more BOPs)
The most controversial part of this change is probably moving
redefined_flag out of rb_vm_t. [vm_opt_method_def_table and
vm_opt_mid_table](9da2a5204f/vm.c)
are not part of rb_vm_t either, and I think this fits well with those.
But more significantly it seems to result in one fewer instruction. For
example:
Before:
```
(lldb) disassemble -n vm_opt_str_freeze
miniruby`vm_exec_core:
miniruby[0x10028233e] <+14558>: movq 0x11a86b(%rip), %rax ; ruby_current_vm_ptr
miniruby[0x100282345] <+14565>: testb $0x4, 0x242c(%rax)
```
After:
```
(lldb) disassemble -n vm_opt_str_freeze
ruby`vm_exec_core:
ruby[0x100280ebe] <+14510>: testb $0x4, 0x120147(%rip) ; ruby_vm_redefined_flag + 43
```
