collection_list has to return objects in ghobject_t sort order, so it's 
really bool operator<(const ghobject_t& l, const ghobject_t& r)'s fault 
that snaps come first.  I don't think we can make it go backwards 
efficiently given how rocksdb etc works.

It might be possible to change the ghobject_t sort order, though, but I 
suspect it'll require a clusterwide osdmap flag again, similar to the 
sortbitwise thing we did earlier. Blech.

How bad is the current workaround?
