  1. Iterate user table in a sorted way, fix tests with latest glib

    This is primarily to help test cases which assume that the adopted algorithm
    prioritizes the users in the exact reverse order they appear in the test
    cases (and get inserted into the session in reverse order). With older glib
    version, the five users being inserted happened to return the order expected by
    the tests. With latest glib, due to a minor tweak in hashing strategy, the
    insertion leads to unsorted list leading to failed tests.
    
    In addition, GHashTable makes no guarantees about the stability of items when
    iterating multiple times. Since the algorithm is sensitive to order of users, it
    is best to return users in an order that is consistent over multiple calls and
    stable over insert/remove operations.
    
    This patch sorts the keys during iteration of users in the user table.
    
    Closes: gobby#22.
