Improve tokenizer sorting rules

Browse Source

Summary:
Currently, we sort all results alphabetically. This isn't ideal. Instead, sort them like this:

  - If the viewing user appears in the list, always sort them first. This is common in a lot of contexts and some "Ben Evans" guy is sorting first on secure.phabricator.com and causing me no end of aggravation.
  - If the tokens match a "priority" component (e.g., username), sort that before results which do not have a "priority" match.
  - Within a group (self, priority, everything else) sort tokens alphabetically.

NOTE: I need to go add setUser() to all the tokenizers to make the "self" rule work, but that's trivial so I figured I'd get this out first.

Test Plan:

Previously, "aaaaaepriestley" (first alphabetic match) would sort before "epriestley" (the viewing user). Now, "epriestley" sorts first because that is the viewer.

Previously, "aaaagopher" (first alphabetic match) would sort before "banana" (the "priority" match). Now, "banana" sorts first because it priority matches on username.
