I think $(wildcard) used to sort but in recent GNU make it no longer
does, so this is probably a good change.

Do we need to explicitly sort the api-index as well?  $(API_DOCS) is
fed to the script that reads filenames one at a time in the given
order, but I do not see anybody asking for a sorted list while
producing that list.  The result looks to be sorted in my build
farm with GNU make 3.82, but that could be by accident.
