Better compareTo() syntax

Improving readability for [java.lang.Comparable.compareTo()](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Comparable.html#compareTo(T\))

Example usage - expressive syntax

import static se.jiderhamn.CompareTo.is;

...
  boolean oneIsZero = is(1).equalTo(0);
  boolean aIsNotZero = is(a).notEqualTo(0);
  boolean bIsZero = is(b).zero();
  boolean value1LessThanValue2 = is(value1).lessThan(value2);
    
  if(is(a).lessThanOrEqualTo(b)) {
    ...
  }

  boolean date1AfterDate2 = is(date1).greaterThan(date2);

  if(is(a).greaterThanOrEqualTo(b)) {
    ...
  }

Example usage - abbreviated syntax

import static se.jiderhamn.CompareTo.is;

...
  boolean oneIsZero = is(1).eq(0);
  boolean aIsNotZero = is(a).ne(0);
  boolean value1LessThanValue2 = is(value1).lt(value2);

  if(is(a).le(b)) {
    ...
  }

  boolean date1AfterDate2 = is(date1).gt(date2);

  if(is(a).ge(b)) {
    ...
  }
