pennae 24eb353907 make-options-docs: don't sort the options XML file
we need the file itself as a dependency for the docbook build, but we don't need
it to be properly sorted at the nix level. push the sort out to a python script
instead to save eval time. on the machine used to write this `nix-instantiate
<nixos/nixos> -A system` went down from 7.1s to 5.4s and GC heap size decreased
by 50MB (or 70MB max RSS).
