Describe your change:

  • Add an algorithm?
  • Fix a bug or typo in an existing algorithm?
  • Add or change doctests?
  • Documentation change?

Make exchange_sort() generic over comparable element types while preserving its
in-place behavior and return element type.

Add doctests for strings, floats, and non-comparable mixed values, and include
exchange_sort in the shared TypeError test.

Part of #15234
