sources.list(5): Explicitly say what the precedence order is

The order of apt sources can matter, but this man page did not previously define whether /etc/apt/sources.list was parsed before or after the fragment files in sources.list.d. Giving a concrete example also provides a hint that numeric prefixes are a useful way to force a particular sort order, and clarifies that the .list or .sources extension is less important than lexicographic order.


Similar to !416 (merged) but for sources.list(5).
