Add -m and -o flags to sort(1)

Sort comes pretty much automatically, as no script relies on the
undefined behaviour of the input _not_ being sorted, we might as well
sort the sorted input already.
The only downside is memory usage, which can be an issue for large
files.
The o-flag was trivial to implement.
