[issue41911] Language reference incorrectly says comparison expressions return boolean values

[Brett Cannon]

New submission from Brett Cannon <brett at python.org>:

https://docs.python.org/3/reference/expressions.html#comparisons claims that "Comparisons yield boolean values: True or False." But that's not necessarily true:

```python
>>> class Spam: 
...  def __eq__(self, _): return 42
... 
>>> Spam() == object()
42
```

That really only happens when an expressions is used in a boolean context like an `if` statements guard expression.
