guix package: '-s' sorts packages by name, then by version.

Before that it would sort them by name only, so the order in which two
packages with the same name but a different version would appear was
non-deterministic.

Reported by Tomáš Čech <sleep_walker@gnu.org>.

* guix/scripts/package.scm (find-packages-by-description)[version<?]:
  New variable.
  Change the 2nd argument to 'sort' to use 'string-compare' and resort
  to 'version<?' when P1 and P2 have the same name.
