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.

tests: disable revlog compression in test-generaldelta.t (issue6867) The revlog compression makes a lot of numbers unstable. Since checking revlog compression is not the goal of this test, we disable the compression to get stable numbers. This should avoid wasting more time on this kind of changes in the future.

test-general-delta: actually test optimize-delta-parent-choice=no Since the configuration was not explicit, the case stopped testing what it intended to test when the default value changed.
