Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
libcudf contains two sets of row operators: legacy row operators for simple types and experimental row operators for complex types. When we have completed "Part 1" of #11844, then we can safely refactor the experimental row operators to be the default, and drop the table::experimental namespace

Describe the solution you'd like
Ultimately we will deprecate the legacy row operators and move the experimental row operators out of the experimental namespace. Please note that the new equality and lexicographic comparators will include "fast paths" for simple types (see #11330 and #11129), so the legacy row operators will continue to play a role.

Merge plan for completing the deprecation

Describe alternatives you've considered
n/a

Additional context
See #10186 and follow-on issue #11844 for more information about the nested type comparator project.

To be clear, I would expect the "fast paths" that you describe to largely be implemented as template specializations of the new comparators rather than leaving the old comparators in place. Much of the code should be reusable and that's the path we've been able to follow in other places e.g. #11129.

This PR adds a fast path for primitive types similar to `experimental::row::lexicographic`. The compilation impact for building on bare-metal from source with command `./build.sh libcudf tests benchmarks` for baseline `16m43.607s` vs this branch `17m13.987s`.

This PR is a part of #12593.
