svn commit: r332796 - head/tools/tools/sortbench

[Brooks Davis]

The goal is to replace our merge sort with its weird limitations (you
can't sort things smaller than int on amd64 and it doesn't work with
pointer integrity schemes) with wikisort.  This and improvements to the
tests are the first steps in the process.
