Describe your changes

This PR modifies testssl.sh so that run_server_defaults() prints the server's supported TLS extensions sorted by extension number rather than listing them in the order in which they were found. This simplifies comparing the results of two tests of a server using different versions of OpenSSL, as the two tests may not detect all of the extensions in the same order.

In order to simplify the sorting of the extensions, this PR changes $TLS_EXTENSIONS from a string to an array. In February 2017 comments were added (925e106) saying that it would be $TLS_EXTENSIONS were an array. So, this PR addresses those comments. However, it is possible that the reason for those comments no longer apply.

Yeah, as I was reading #2686 yesterday, I was thinking "hmm, that could be put in the proper order" and same day you did it 👍
