bdrv_iterate_format() did not actually sort the formats by name but by
"pointer interpreted as string". That is probably not what we intended
to do, so fix it (by changing qsort_strcmp() so it matches the example
from qsort()'s manual page).

I'm a bit surprised that code sanitizers like Coverity or ASAN aren't
(yet?) able to flag this.
