Sort by a new sticky parameter

[stevenjoezhang]

Test cases / docs will be updated later.

Node.js 12+ uses stable sorting algorithms by default, thus timsort is only used for Node.js 10 compatibility. It should be replaced after Node.js 10 EOL.
https://v8.dev/features/stable-sort

// Node.js 10
sort(posts.data, (a, b) => (b.sticky || 0) - (a.sticky || 0));

// Node.js 12+
posts.data.sort((a, b) => (b.sticky || 0) - (a.sticky || 0));

There is a high performance tim-sort implementation that could be used as an alternative.

Coverage remained the same at 100.0% when pulling 4203610 on sticky into 88843c2 on master.

Another approach is

const posts = locals.posts.sort(`${config.index_generator.order_by} -sticky`);

However, the current implementation of warehouse does not support setting default values for sort (e.g. sticky = 0), thus the sorting will not take effect unless every post has a sticky or order attribute.

	{source: 'bar', slug: 'bar', date: 1e8 + 1, order: 10},
	{source: 'baz', slug: 'baz', date: 1e8 - 1, order: 1}
