Changelog is now:

docs: changes.rst and ver_linux: sort the lists

Sort the lists of tools in both scripts/ver_linux and
Documentation/process/changes.rst into alphabetical order, facilitating
comparison between the two.

As an additional note...what would be Really Nice would be to have a
single list of tool dependencies that could be automatically used by
both files. An additional bonus would be a mode in script/ver_linux to
only report on tools that are missing or below the required version. A
guy can dream...:)

Thanks,
