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.
