[PATCH for-5.1 5/5] qom: Make info qom-tree sort children more efficiently

[Markus Armbruster]

Commit e8c9e65816 "qom: Make "info qom-tree" show children sorted"
sorts children the simple, stupid, quadratic way.  I thought the
number of children would be small enough for this not to matter.  I
was wrong: there are outliers with several hundred children, e.g ARM
machines nuri and smdkc210 each have a node with 513 children.

While n^2 sorting isn't noticeable in normal, human usage even for
n=513, it can be quite noticeable in certain automated tests.  In
particular, the sort made device-introspect-test even slower.  Commit
3e7b80f84d "tests: improve performance of device-introspect-test" just
fixed that by cutting back its excessive use of "info qom-tree".
Sorting more efficiently makes sense regardless, so do it.
