conandeps: sort dependencies by level of indirection

Browse source 
Record each package's shortest distance from the consumer while collecting
the graph (1 = direct) and order the dependency table direct-first, then by
increasing depth, alphabetically within a level; the kind column now reads
"indirect (N)". Fixture gains a depth-3 package (libdeep under libbar) and
a test pins the ordering.

Reading the table:
Reading the table: rows are sorted with direct dependencies first
(alphabetically), then indirect ones by increasing level of indirection –
`indirect (2)` is required by a direct dependency, `indirect (3)` by one of
those, and so on (shortest path counts).
