parse-maintainers: Do not sort section content by default
Add an --order switch to control section reordering.
Default for --order is off.
Change the default ordering to a slightly more sensible:
M: Person acting as a maintainer
R: Person acting as a patch reviewer
L: Mailing list where patches should be sent
S: Maintenance status
W: URI for general information
Q: URI for patchwork tracking
B: URI for bug tracking/submission
C: URI for chat
P: URI or file for subsystem specific coding styles
T: SCM tree type and location
F: File and directory pattern
X: File and directory exclusion pattern
N: File glob
K: Keyword - patch content regex
