xdrgen: Prevent reordering of encoder and decoder functions
I noticed that "xdrgen source" reorders the procedure encoder and
decoder functions every time it is run. I would prefer that the
generated code be more deterministic: it enables a reader to better
see exactly what has changed between runs of the tool.
The problem is that Python sets are not ordered. I use a Python set
to ensure that, when multiple procedures use a particular argument or
result type, the encoder/decoder for that type is emitted only once.
Sets aren't ordered, but I can use Python dictionaries for this
purpose to ensure the procedure functions are always emitted in the
same order if the .x file does not change.
