Sort feature index arrays by the priority of file types [Bug #15856]
When looking for libraries to load with a feature name without
extension, `.rb` files are given priority. However, since the
feature index arrays were not in that order of priority, but in
the order in which they were loaded, a lower priority extension
library might be returned. In that case, the `.rb` file had to be
searched for again from the `$LOAD_PATH`, resulting in poor
performance.
