Replace insertion sort in contrib/intarray with qsort().

It's all very well to claim that a simplistic sort is fast in easy
cases, but O(N^2) in the worst case is not good ... especially if the
worst case is as easy to hit as "descending order input".  Replace that
bit with our standard qsort.

Per bug #12866 from Maksym Boguk.  Back-patch to all active branches.
