Order active window clauses for greater reuse of Sort nodes.

By sorting the active window list lexicographically by the sort clause
list but putting longer clauses before shorter prefixes, we generate
more chances to elide Sort nodes when building the path.

* There is room to be much smarter here, for example detecting whether

* we are content with meeting the spec.
* This is how we implement a specific requirement from the SQL standard,
* which says that when two or more windows are order-equivalent (i.e.
* have matching partition and order clauses, even if their names or
* framing clauses differ), then all peer rows must be presented in the
* same order in all of them. If we allowed multiple sort nodes for such
* cases, we'd risk having the peer rows end up in different orders in
* equivalent windows due to sort instability. (See General Rule 4 of
* <window clause> in SQL2008 - SQL2016.)
*
* Additionally, if the entire list of clauses of one window is a prefix
* of another, put first the window with stronger sorting requirements.
* This way we will first sort for stronger window, and won't have to sort
* again for the weaker one.
