Description

When debugging #8247, I noticed that other changes are random, creating false cache invalidation. The resutl is correct, because unordered sets of values, but a lot of things are moved around for nothing.

Example (traced with git on /var/rudder/share directory, with word diff, so look for [-xxx-] and {+yyy+}):

+++ b/share/f2ad48f3-66b8-4270-9fd6-cf3c0426034b/rules/cfengine-community/checkGenericFileContent/5.0/checkGenericFileContent.cf

                        "generic_file_content_owner[27]" string => "root";

                        "generic_file_content_owner[32]" string => "root";

Not sur we can do something, because order may have a meaning in the general case, but it's really not clean as it is.
