object: Support numeric comparisons in access rules

Previously, protocol did not support numeric comparisons in access rules
except `==` and `!=`. This may be needed for system attributes such as
payload size or creation epoch, and for user ones if required by the
client application.

New values of `MatchType` enumeration are added: `>`, `>=`, `<`, `<=`.
Being set in the `EACLRecord.Filter`, these operators will allow user to
apply access rules with any decimal attributes. While only base-10
numbers are allowed, additional bases may be supported in the future
without new enumerations.

Closes #255.
Refs #265.
