#978: parameters to reverse un-enforced Cactus schedule ordering

     Type:  enhancement  |      Status:  new
 Priority:  minor        |   Milestone:     
Component:  Cactus       |     Version:     
 Keywords:               |  
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 the attached patch adds two new parameters to the flesh:
 * schedule_sort_mode - which affects the order of schedule items before
 enforcing BEFORE/AFTER
 * schedule_sort_warnings - which outputs warnings if a schedule item
 refers to a non-existing item in its BEFORE/AFTER modifiers

 Neither one is intended to be used in production runs but they are useful
 for debugging a schedule.
 schedule_sort_warnings is intended to catch typos in dependency names and
 when one tries to order with respect to items hidden within a group. It
 will find a number of false positives for items that are only scheduled
 based on parameter settings. Eg. MoL's RHS NaN checker.
 schedule_sort_mode can be used to ensure that the schedule order does not
 depend on the (semi-random) order that Cactus generates for non-enforced
 ordering.
