Subject: [PATCH] ldgen: determinism in mapping rule order

This MR imposes some determinism in the mapping rule order in the output
file. For each section, the archives are arranged alphabetically
(ascending), and the mapping rules in each archive are arranged by
increasing specificity then alphabetically (ascending). The default
rules remain the very first rule for each section.
