exchange: use rich class for sorting clone bundle entries

Python 3 removed the "cmp" argument from sorted(). Custom sorting in
Python 3 must be implemented with the dunder comparison methods on
types and/or with a "key" function.

This patch converts our custom "cmp" function to a custom type.

The implementation is very similar to functools.cmp_to_key(). However,
cmp_to_key() doesn't exist in Python 2, so we can't use it.

This was the only use of the "cmp" argument to sorted() in the code
base.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
