build: sort.py: add and require -i to edit in-place (netblue30#6290)

Similarly to `sed -i` and `perl -i`.

This allows checking if sort.py correctly sorts the relevant lines in a
profile without having to overwrite it, which makes debugging and
testing easier (for example, in netblue30#6261).

Note: If it finds items that are not sorted, it still sorts them, prints
the diff and returns an error.
