Xavier Delaruelle 3b417daae5 Always dictionary-sort list of modules or collections ...

Dictionary sort of Tcl enables to determine that a version 1.10 is
greater that a version 1.8, for instance. This useful kind of sort was
in use in modules-tcl previously but not for every sort. For instance
load command was correctly able to find the greatest version of a module
whereas avail and whatis commands did not sort existing versions
accordingly.

This patch applies the dictionary sort everywhere to ensure the exact
same sort is applied everywhere. Dictionary sort appears to be the most
appropriate kind of sort to work with software versions. So the
sort_order argument of listModules procedure is removed to always get
the same sort applied. Also a stringDictionaryCompare procedure is added
in order to compare two strings with dictionary-sort (useful to know
what string is greater than the other).

In addition, modules.91-sort testsuite is introduced to guaranty that
avail, whatis and load commands behave appropriately regarding sort.
