scripts/sorttable: fix orc_sort_cmp() to maintain symmetry and transitivity

The orc_sort_cmp() function, used with qsort(), previously violated the
symmetry and transitivity rules required by the C standard.  Specifically,
when both entries are ORC_TYPE_UNDEFINED, it could result in both a < b
and b < a, which breaks the required symmetry and transitivity.  This can
lead to undefined behavior and incorrect sorting results, potentially
causing memory corruption in glibc implementations [1].

Symmetry: If x < y, then y > x.
Transitivity: If x < y and y < z, then x < z.

Fix the comparison logic to return 0 when both entries are
ORC_TYPE_UNDEFINED, ensuring compliance with qsort() requirements.
