Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
piglit could not be built reproducibly.

This is because when rendering sets in an XML file, it does so via by
calling repr() on the set object, which results in nondeterminstic
output.

Patch attached that renders the set as sorted whilst retaining the
"{a, b, c}" nomenclature.
