GetHostCpusListActionTest fails regularly but isn't deterministic

[Tony Breeds]

tripleo_common.tests.actions.test_derive_params.GetHostCpusListActionTest.test_run_valid_inspect_data will sometimes fail but re-running tox will pass.

An example failure is below:

This is because we're inserting items into a list based on the order of keys in a dictionary [1] Key order isn't deterministic in that way. The closest I can find to an offical statement on that is "CPython implementation detail: Keys and values are listed in an arbitrary order which is non-random, varies across Python implementations, and depends on the dictionary’s history of insertions and deletions."[2]

    Ensure that GetHostCpusListAction.run() returns a deterministic result

    As the return value of keys() isn't guaranteed to be the same between
    different runs sort them so the items we add are in a predictable order
