[bp-i18n-specdev] Add text about sorting code units (#62)

aphillips has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/bp-i18n-specdev:

== Add text about sorting code units ==
Quoting https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/362 :

I think it would be useful to add something to specdev describing the aims and limitations of the sort they are proposing. We'd need to create a succinct do/don't sentence, then add a paragraph of explanation, which could include:

>    This matches the Array.prototype.sort on an Array of Strings. This ordering compares the 16-bit code units in each string, producing a highly efficient, consistent, and deterministic sort order. The resulting list will not match any particular alphabet or lexicographical order, particularly for code points represented by a surrogate pair.
