extconfig: Allow explicit DB result set ordering to be disabled.

Added a new boolean configuration flag -
`order_multi_row_results_by_initial_column` - to both res_pgsql.conf
and res_config_odbc.conf that allows the administrator to disable the
explicit `ORDER BY` that was previously being added to all generated
SQL statements that returned multiple rows.

Fixes: #179
