This PR adds a mechanism to sort query parameters for CacheController.cache_url, so that even if the requests were issued without sorting them first, caching should still work.

The code changes seem simple enough, but I didn't quite get the hang of the testing (and doc) style, so pruning and reworking are likely.

I've been seeing a lot of cache misses after wrapping PRAW and using FileCache. It turns out that it was passing parameters as dicts to requests, then on each script invocation the query parameters order was randomized. That means a > 95% chance of a false cache miss on second request for 4 parameters if I'm mathing it good.

Here's a simple script to illustrate the issue.
