compare-total-magnitude takes two numbers and compares them
using their abstract representation rather than their numerical value
with their sign ignored and assumed to be 0.
The result is identical to that obtained by using compare-total
on two operands which are the copy-abs copies of the operands.
Implements the 'compare-total-magnitude' function in the specification.
