lib: fwts_hwinfo: sort device info before comparing (LP: #1018288)

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

Output from xinput list can sometimes be re-ordered beween and
suspend and a resume, leading to fwts complaining that there are
differences between input devices even though it is all OK. The
simple workaround is to sort the output alphanumerically first
and then compare.

We also filter out the pactl Latency information as this is
a new field that we don't want to compare because it is always
changing.

Gave this a spin on my machine with an Apple Magic Trackpad, did see one 
device reorder in xinput -list (everything still functional) and no 
complaints from fwts.
