Tom Levy 2bba267120 sort: fix mix-up between "!less" and "greater" in examples
If Less(a, b) returns true when a is less than b, the correct way to
check if a is greater than b is to use Less(b, a). It is wrong to use
!Less(a, b) because that checks if a is greater than *or equal to* b.

1. The decreasingDistance function in Example_sortKeys makes this
   mistake. Fix it.

2. The documentation of multiSorter.Less says it loops along the less
   functions until it finds a comparison "that is either Less or
   !Less". This is nonsense, because (Less(a, b) or !Less(a, b)) is
   always true. Fix the documentation to say that it finds a
   comparison "that discriminates between the two items (one is less
   than the other)". The implementation already does this correctly.
