bectl(8): implement sorting for 'bectl list' output

Description

bectl(8): implement sorting for 'bectl list' output

Allow 'bectl list' to sort output by a given property name. The property
name is passed in using a command-line flag, '-c' for ascending order and
'-C' for descending order. The properties allowed to sort by are:

  • name (the default output, even if '-c' or '-C' are not used)
  • creation
  • origin
  • used
  • usedds
  • usedsnap
  • usedrefreserv

The default output for 'bectl list' is now ascending alphabetical order of
BE name.

To sort by creation time from earliest to latest, the command would be
'bectl list -c creation'
