[PATCH v2 2/2] gendwarfksyms: order -T symtypes output by name

[Giuliano Procida]

When writing symtypes information, we iterate through the entire hash
table containing type expansions. The key order varies unpredictably
as new entries are added, making it harder to compare symtypes between
builds.

Resolve this by sorting the type expansions by name before output.
