Sort errors list in help
[Mega-Linter](https://github.com/nvuillam/mega-linter) generates its help from flake8 --help

An automated job detects when there is a new version of help and triggers actions from this event
But as the list of returned errors is randomly ordered for every flake8 --help called, the result is never the same and there are false updates detection

Sorting the list of extensions will make help text to be always the same for the same version :)

========
 Flake8
========

Flake8 is a wrapper around these tools:

- PyFlakes
- pycodestyle
- Ned Batchelder's McCabe script

Flake8 runs all the tools by launching the single ``flake8`` command.
It displays the warnings in a per-file, merged output.

It also adds a few features:

- files that contain this line are skipped::

    # flake8: noqa

- lines that contain a ``# noqa`` comment at the end will not issue warnings.
- you can ignore specific errors on a line with ``# noqa: <error>``, e.g.,
  ``# noqa: E234``. Multiple codes can be given, separated by comma. The ``noqa`` token is case insensitive, the colon before the list of codes is required otherwise the part after ``noqa`` is ignored
- Git and Mercurial hooks
- extendable through ``flake8.extension`` and ``flake8.formatting`` entry
  points
