lib/sort: fix outdated comment regarding glibc qsort()
The existing comment in lib/sort refers to glibc qsort() using quicksort.
However, glibc qsort() no longer uses quicksort; it now uses mergesort and
falls back to heapsort if memory allocation for mergesort fails. This
makes the comment outdated and incorrect.
Update the comment to refer to quicksort in general rather than glibc's
implementation to provide accurate information about the comparisons and
trade-offs without implying an outdated implementation.
