[PATCH v2] merge-recursive.c: use string_list_sort instead of qsort

This started out to as a hunt for remaining qsort() calls after rs/qsort series because qsort() API is a bit easy to get wrong (*). However, since we have string_list_sort(), it's conceptually a better way to sort here.

(*) In this particular case, it's even more confusing when you sort one variable but you use the number of items and item size from an unrelated variable (from a first glance)
