fix: prevent deadlock for batchinserting usage metrics (#1100)

* fix: prevent deadlock for batchinserting usage metrics

In client metrics v2 we utilize postgres to count the usage
across a few dimentions (featureName, app_name, environment).

It turns out that if the UPDATE values are not executed in a predictable
order we can end up in a deadlock scenario with postgresql.

In this fix we thus sort the metrics on the feature_name, app_name and
envrionment, to make sure they always are executed in a predictabel
order, and thus avoiding independent inserts colliding in to a deadlock
waiting for eachother.

* fix: tests cannot assume order
