gst-env.py: Sort path sets before using prepend_env_var

Python `set`s have a random ordering. To avoid creating a random
environment, create sorted lists before iterating over them.

Our Rust crates instruct cargo to rebuild if `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` changes,
so this has been causing unnecessary rebuilds.
