api/krusty: Ensure sort ordering works with CLI flag and kustomization

Sort order can be defined in two places:
- (new) kustomization file
- (old) CLI flag
We want the kustomization file to take precedence over the CLI flag.

Eventually, we may want to move away from having a CLI flag altogether:
kubernetes-sigs#3947

Case 1: Sort order set in kustomization file AND in CLI flag.
Print a warning and let the kustomization file take precedence.

Case 2: Sort order set in CLI flag only or not at all.
Follow the CLI flag (defaults to legacy) and reorder at the end.

Case 3: Sort order set in kustomization file only.
Simply build the kustomization.
