Support where with comparison operators (>, >=, <, and <=)

```ruby
posts = Post.order(:id)

posts.where("id >": 9).pluck(:id)  # => [10, 11]
posts.where("id >=": 9).pluck(:id) # => [9, 10, 11]
posts.where("id <": 3).pluck(:id)  # => [1, 2]
posts.where("id <=": 3).pluck(:id) # => [1, 2, 3]
```

From type casting and table/column name resolution's point of view,
`where("create_at >=": time)` is better alternative than `where("create_at >= ?", time)`.

```ruby
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
  attribute :created_at, :datetime, precision: 3
end

time = Time.now.utc # => 2020-06-24 10:11:12.123456 UTC

Post.create!(created_at: time) # => #<Post id: 1, created_at: "2020-06-24 10:11:12.123000">

# SELECT `posts`.* FROM `posts` WHERE (created_at >= '2020-06-24 10:11:12.123456')
Post.where("created_at >= ?", time) # => []

# SELECT `posts`.* FROM `posts` WHERE `posts`.`created_at` >= '2020-06-24 10:11:12.123000'
Post.where("created_at >=": time) # => [#<Post id: 1, created_at: "2020-06-24 10:11:12.123000">]
