Yes, we really can use qsort(3) rather than reimplementing it.  I've tested
this code against some invented 0xffffffff-terminated guint32 arrays and it
sorts them identically to the old code.  I'm a little unconvinced by said
0xffffffff-terminated arrays in the first place: someone might like to go
through replacing them with GArrays!
