Ensure AST plugins have the same ordering as < ember-cli-htmlbars@5.5.0. #665
Conversation
We have to reverse these for reasons that are a bit bonkers. The initial version of this system used `registeredPlugin` from `ember-template-compiler.js` to set up these plugins (because Ember ~ 1.13 only had `registerPlugin`, and there was no way to pass plugins directly to the call to `compile`/`precompile`). Calling `registerPlugin` unfortunately **inverted** the order of plugins (it essentially did `PLUGINS = [plugin, ...PLUGINS]`). Sooooooo...... we are forced to maintain that **absolutely bonkers** ordering.

FWIW, this is also exactly why Embroider has to do: |

Is there a list somewhere we can add this to so we make it rational in a breaking change for Ember 4.0? Or are stuck with this forever? |

@lukemelia - Hmm. I would really like to find a way to do it, but I don't know of a reasonable path forward. We could easily guard this reversing code (and the code in Embroider that I linked) to avoid reversing when running against Ember >= 4, but then any addon that wants to support both Ember < 4 and 4 will have no way to actually guarantee the ordering. |

Ironically, with Ember 4 the reason for reversing will actually be gone (since the |

@lukemelia - Mind making an issue to track the discussion / brain storming? Seems fine to do here, emberjs/rfcs, emberjs/ember.js, or Embroider repos... |

This should address #664, but I'd like to leave it open so @simonihmig can confirm.
