sort the output of podify_signals

The reproducible builds effort in Debian
(https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds/About) identified that a few Perl
dists could not be built reproducibly because the POD files generated by
perl-Glib contain signal lists in random order.

This is fixed by the attached patch, that you can also find as the
sort_podify_signals Git branch on
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-perl/packages/libglib-perl.git, for your
convenience.

FYI I'm going to apply this patch to the Debian package.

Please consider it for inclusion upstream :)
