The order determines which updater gets used first when running ‘guix refresh’
on a package.  We want the most generic updaters to be last since they usually
don’t provide as much or accurate information as language-specific updaters.

* guix/upstream.scm (sort-updaters): New procedure.
(%updaters): Use it.
