sort: add Slice, SliceStable, and SliceIsSorted

Add helpers for sorting slices.

Slice sorts slices:

    sort.Slice(s, func(i, j int) bool {
        if s[i].Foo != s[j].Foo {
            return s[i].Foo < s[j].Foo
        }
        return s[i].Bar < s[j].Bar
    })

SliceStable is the same, but does a stable sort.

SliceIsSorted reports whether a slice is already sorted.

Fixes #16721
