remove cx_ccmp_memcmp() again - i.e. we don't provide any 3-arg cmp func in compare.h

+## Comparing with Context
+
+Sometimes it might be necessary to have some context available during the comparison.
+For this purpose, the `cx_compare_func2` specifies a signature with an additional `void*` argument.
+The [Collections](collection.h.md) API supports those functions via the `cxSetAdvancedCompareFunc()` macro.
+
+On the other hand, some API might provide _only_ the variant with three arguments,
+but you want to use one of the compare functions defined above.
+In this case, they can easily be wrapped 
+
+```C
+#include <cx/compare.h>
+
+typedef struct {
+    cx_compare_func cmp;
+} cx_compare_func_wrapper;
+
+// signature is cx_compare_func2 compatible
+int cx_cmp_wrap(const void *a, const void *b, void *wrapper);

+// example: imagine there is some_sort_fun()
+//          that only supports 3-argument compare functions
+cx_compare_func_wrapper wrapper = {cx_cmp_int};
