Log:
  MFC r282482: cp: Remove fts sorting.
  
  In an attempt to improve performance, cp reordered directories first
  (although the comment says directories last). This is not effective with new
  UFS layout policies.
  
  The sorting reorders multiple arguments passed to cp, which may be
  undesirable.
  
  Additionally, the comparison function does not induce a total order. Per
  POSIX, this causes undefined behaviour in qsort().
  
  NetBSD removed the sorting in 2009.
  
  On filesystems that return directory entries in hash/btree order, sorting by
  d_fileno before statting improves performance on large directories. However,
  this can only be implemented in fts(3).
