Move git_sort(), a stable sort, into into libgit.a
The `qsort()` function is not guaranteed to be stable, i.e. it does not
promise to maintain the order of items it is told to consider equal. In
contrast, the `git_sort()` function we carry in `compat/qsort.c` _is_
stable, by virtue of implementing a merge sort algorithm.
In preparation for using a stable sort in Git's rename detection, move
the stable sort into `libgit.a` so that it is compiled in
unconditionally, and rename it to `git_stable_qsort()`.
Note: this also makes the hack obsolete that was introduced in
fe21c6b285d (mingw: reencode environment variables on the fly (UTF-16
<-> UTF-8), 2018-10-30), where we included `compat/qsort.c` directly in
`compat/mingw.c` to use the stable sort.
