add MINIMAL pragma to ord

[aleeusgr]

addresses #6270

• fix PlutusTx.Ord
• check the existence of other minimal pragmas where such applies
  • get the list of all Type Classes in plinth
    git grep -e "^class .* where" -- **/*.hs
  • get the list of Type Classes where the pragma needs to be added.
• fix commit signing

Background

Ord is a type class that defines a total ordering for types.

A pragma is a special instruction or directive that provides additional information to the compiler, allowing for optimizations or modifications in how the code is processed. Pragmas are denoted by the syntax {-# ... #-}, and they do not generally affect the semantic meaning of the program, but they can influence performance and behavior during compilation.

the MINIMAL pragma is used to specify the minimal complete definition of a type class, indicating which methods must be implemented for an instance of that class. This is particularly useful for classes that have methods with circular defaults, ensuring that instances adhere to a defined interface.

Looks good, let's wait for Kenneth to respond and then we'll either ignore the warning in the nofib file or keep your change.

@kwxm do you remember anything about the nofib implementation? Is it fine to make this change here? Should we just disable the warning not allowing us to make this change?

Thanks for the list of the classes! I'll review it myself, that won't block the PR.
