rustc: Sort CGUs before merging

This commit fixes some nondeterminism in compilation when using multiple codegen
units. The algorithm for splitting codegen units currently takes the
otherwise-would-be-for-incremental partitioning and then continuously merges the
two smallest codegen units until the desired number of codegen units are
reached.

We want to be sure to merge the same codegen units each time a compilation is
run but there's some subtle reorderings amongst all the items which was causing
this step to be slightly buggy. Notably this step involves sorting codegen units
by size, but if two codegen units had the same size they would appear in
different locations in the list each time.

This commit fixes this issue by sorting codegen units by name before doing the
loop to merge the two smallest. This means that we've got a deterministic
order going in and since we're using a stable sort this should mean that we're
always now getting a deterministic merging of codegen units.

Closes #46846
