templates/linux_xen: Fix quadratic algorithm for sorting menu items

The current implementation of the 20_linux_xen script implements its
menu items sorting in bash with a quadratic algorithm, calling "sed",
"sort", "head", and "grep" to compare versions between individual lines,
which is annoyingly slow for kernel developers who can easily end up
with 50-100 kernels in their boot partition.

This fix is ported from the 10_linux script, which has a similar
quadratic code pattern.
