Fix ci_cuda_example CUDA 11.8 build after C++17 fallback (#3907)

The 11.8.0 leg's graceful C++17 fallback (added in the previous commit)
worked correctly, but the broadened smoke test used the <=> operator
unconditionally, which isn't valid syntax pre-C++20 — nvcc rejected it
with "expected an expression" once the CMake logic picked cuda_std_17
for the older toolkit. Gate those two lines behind
JSON_HAS_THREE_WAY_COMPARISON like the library itself does internally.

Sanity-compiled the file as plain C++ at both -std=c++17 (skips the
guarded block) and -std=c++20 (includes it) locally; the actual nvcc
build is verified via CI on PR #5248.

 @brief hash a JSON value
 
 The hash function tries to rely on std::hash where possible. Furthermore, the
 type of the JSON value is taken into account to have different hash values for
-most types. However, numeric types (number_integer, number_unsigned, number_float)
-are hashed to satisfy the std::hash contract: if two json values compare equal,
-they must have equal hash values. This means json(42), json(42u), and json(42.0)
-all hash to the same value (since they compare equal). For large integer values
-outside the exact representable range of the float type, integer values are hashed
-in their own domain to avoid precision loss.
