So users can better track their ruleset via git.
Without sorting, the elements can be listed in a different order
every time the set is created, generating unnecessary git changes.
Mergesort is used. Doesn't sort sets with 'flags interval' set on.
Pablo appends to this changelog description:
Currently these interval set elements are dumped in order. We'll likely
get new representations soon that may not guarantee this anymore, so
let's revisit this later in case we need it.
Without this patch, nft list ruleset with a set containing 40000
elements takes on my laptop:
real 0m2.742s
user 0m0.112s
sys 0m0.280s
With this patch:
real 0m2.846s
user 0m0.180s
sys 0m0.284s
Difference is small, so don't get nft more complicated with yet another
getopt() option, enable this by default.
