docs: render the fcmp tables as code (#3735)

Looking at [the `fcmp`
documentation](https://docs.rs/cranelift-codegen/0.80.0/cranelift_codegen/ir/trait.InstBuilder.html#method.fcmp)--generated
from Cranelift's instruction definitions, the charts explaining the
logic for the various conditions is unreadable. Since rendering those charts
as plain text is problematic, this change wraps them as code sections
for a consistent layout.
