patch file to add sort to "help" target's defconfig list

The latest "make" version, 3.82, changed the behavior of "wildcard" to no longer sort its output.  The result is that the defconfig list in buildroot's "help" target now lists things in some bizarro order.  Not good for those of us who manage multiple configurations.  It would help if a "sort" were added.  A patch is attached.
