-package-db flags now need to be sorted by dependency order

After 39b71e81 putting the -package-db flags in the wrong order will result in a compile error:

<command line>: cannot satisfy -package-id b-1-XXX:
    b-1-XXX is unusable due to missing or recursive dependencies:
      a-1-XXX
    (use -v for more information)

See attached file for a repro.

It's reproduces in 8.0.1 and HEAD. Doesn't reproduce in GHC 7.10.3 or after reverting the above mentioned commit.
