Fix non-deterministic parser printing

Browse source 
In _very_ rare cases (I had about 7 cases out of 32200 files!),
the order of how inherit-from bindings are printed when using
`nix-instantiate --parse` gets messed up.

The cause of this seems to be because the std::map the bindings are
placed in is keyed on a _pointer_, which then uses an
[implementation-defined strict total order](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/operator_comparison#Pointer_total_order).

The fix here is to key the bindings on their displacement instead,
which maintains the same order as they appear in the file.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to make a reproducible test for this in the
source, there's something about the local environment that makes it
unreproducible for me.

However I was able to make a reproducible test in a Nix build on a Nix
version from a very recent master:

    nix build github:infinisil/non-det-nix-parsing-repro
