[reltool] Fix problems with sorting of applications

OTP-9792

The following problems have been solved:

* reltool_target:do_merge_apps - in recursive calls to this function,
  the accumulator was reverted each time causing the order of
  applications listed after kernel and stdlib in the rel specification
  in the configuration to sometimes be messed up.

* There are several ways to specify wich applications to include in an
  application:
  1) in the .app file for the including applications
  2a) in the .rel file, when listing applications
  2b) in the rel specification in the reltool configuration

  2a (systools) and 2b (reltool) should have the same effect and
  overwrite 1.

  According to the documentation of systools (sasl), the default value
  in 2a is an empty list. This should mean that if included
  applications are not mentioned in the .rel file, then any included
  application listed in the .app file will be disregarded. This is NOT
  the way systools actually works. The implementation sets the default
  for the .rel file to the same list as in the .app file.

  Reltool earlier implemented 2b as described in the systools
  documentation. However, after some discussion we decided to change
  this so that reltool handles 2b in the same way as systools handles
  2a since this seems more intuitive. The sasl documentation will be
  altered accordingly (internal ref OTP-9980).

* If the rel specification in the reltool configuration explicitly
  specified included applications to be an empty list, and the .app
  file had a non-empty list, then the empty list from the rel
  specification was discarded. This has been corrected so the rel
  specification now, if set, always overwrites the value of
  included_applications in the .app file.

* reltool would earlier add load instructions in the script/boot files
  for ALL modules in the ebin directory of an application even if
  mod_cond was set to app (include only modules listed in the .app
  file). This has been corrected - now only modules with
  #mod.is_included==true are loaded.

* reltool would earlier add start instructions in the script/boot file
  for included applications. This has been corrected - included
  applications shall only be loaded since the including application is
  responsible for starting them.
