Moby currently sorts uid and gid ranges in id maps. This causes subuid
and subgid files to be interpreted wrongly.
The subuid file
```
> cat /etc/subuid
jonas:100000:1000
jonas:1000:1
```
configures that the container uids 0-999 are mapped to the host uids
100000-100999 and uid 1000 in the container is mapped to uid 1000 on the
host. The expected uid_map is:
```
> docker run ubuntu cat /proc/self/uid_map
0 100000 1000
1000 1000 1
```
Moby currently sorts the ranges by the first id in the range. Therefore
with the subuid file above the uid 0 in the container is mapped to uid
100000 on host and the uids 1-1000 in container are mapped to the uids
1-1000 on the host. The resulting uid_map is:
```
> docker run ubuntu cat /proc/self/uid_map
0 1000 1
1 100000 1000
```
The ordering was implemented to work around a limitation in Linux 3.8.
This is fixed since Linux 3.9 as stated on the user namespaces manpage

This fix changes the interpretation of subuid and subgid files which do
not have the ids of in the numerical order for each individual user.
This breaks users that rely on the current behaviour.
The desired mapping above - map low user ids in the container to high
user ids on the host and some higher user ids in the container to lower
user on host - can unfortunately not archived with the current
behaviour.
