obsutil: sort metadata before comparing in geteffectflag()

This is probably less important now that we dropped Python 2. We do still
support Python 3.6 though, and the dictionaries aren't ordered there either
(that was a big change that came with 3.7).

Still, maybe it's a good idea to sort metadata explicitly.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
