cve-check: sort the package list in the JSON report

The JSON report generated by the cve-check class is basically a huge
list of packages.  This list of packages is, however, unsorted.

To make things easier for people comparing the JSON, or more
specifically for git when archiving the JSON over time in a git
repository, we can sort the list by package name.
