scriptutils.py::_iter_source_paragraphs selects the decompression algorithm non-deterministically

[Robie Basak]

I just noticed this:

    compressions = {
        '.xz': lzma.decompress,
        '.bz2': bz2.decompress,
        '.gz': gzip.decompress,
    }
    [...]
    for compression, decompresser in compressions.items():

We should probably use an OrderedDict and decide what order to try decompressing in. This shouldn't cause a functional problem currently in theory, but it would be helpful to be deterministic in case of an unrelated bug or problem.

Ack, I don't think a given tarball can be decompressed by more than one of
these, but for determinism I'm fine with ordering it.
