buildbot: portwatcher should trigger portbuilder builds in predictable order

Description

Currently, portwatcher triggers portbuilder builds in random order. (Well, they're triggered in alphabetical order, but buildbot then adds them to an unordered python dictionary from which they're pulled out in random order.)

Per ​a suggestion on the buildbot users mailing list, we should add a custom "priority" property to each triggered build, and then write a ​nextBuild function which determines which of the pending BuildRequests to build next by examining their "priority" properties.

Once this is working and causing builds to happen in alphabetical order, we can try to do the more complicated dependency order.

Thanks. Now we need to sort the output of list-subports in dependency order.

buildbot: don't sort the subports

They're already sorted in dependency order, which is what we want, so
it's no good sorting alphabetically.
