Add an operator< for Thrift structs (in C++).

Some people want to use sets of Thrift structs.  This has interesting
implications, but it is a reasonable request.  However, in C++,
this requires structures to have a less-than operator.
It seems a little dangerous to auto-generate an arbitrary comparator,
but allowing users to define their own operator< implementations
seems fine.  This change makes that a lot easier.

The one downside of this change is that developers who try to compare
structures with operator< (including trying to make sets of them)
will now get a linker error instead of a compiler error.
However, the old compiler error was so scary that
I'm not sure this is any worse.
