[JENKINS-7138] Persist matrix-based security settings in a consistent order #19731
Description
When "Matrix-based security" or "Project-based Matrix Authorization Strategy" authorization is selected, the permissions are persisted in a different order on each save.
Storing them in a consistent order would make it easier to read diffs of config.xml.
