We compile package sort as part of the compiler bootstrap,
to make sure the compiler uses a consistent sort algorithm
no matter what version of Go it is compiled against.
(This matters for elements that compare "equal" but are distinguishable.)
Package sort was compiled in such a way as to disallow
sort.Slice entirely during bootstrap (at least with some compilers),
while cmd/internal/obj was compiled in such a way as to
make obj.SortSlice available to all compilers, precisely because
sort.Slice was not. This is all highly confusing.
Simplify by making sort.Slice available all the time.
Followup to CL 169137 and #30440
(and also CL 40114 and CL 73951).

Now the net package is back to no longer depending on unicode. And lock that in
with a test.

This will let us build the latest sort when bootstrapping the compiler.
The compiler depends on the precise tie-breaks used by sort in
some cases, and it's easier to bring sort along than require checking
every sort call ever added to the compiler.
