ftparchive: sort discovered filenames before writing indexes
If 'apt-ftparchive packages /path/to/files/' (or sources) is used the files to include in the generated index (on stdout) were included in the order in which they were discovered, which isn't a very stable order which could lead to indexes changing without actually changing content causing needless changes in the repository changing hashsums, pdiffs, rsyncs, downloads, …. This does not effect apt-ftparchive calls which already have an order defined via a filelist (like generate) which will still print in the order given by the filelist. Note that a similar effect can be achieved by post-processing index files with apt-sortpkgs. Closes: 869557 Thanks: Chris Lamb for initial patch & Stefan Lippers-Hollmann for testing
