When loading current ids, sort by stream_id to avoid incorrect overwrite and avoid errors caused by sorting alphabetical instance name which can be null (#13585 )

When loading current ids, sort by stream ID so that we don't want to overwrite the `current_position` of an instance to a lower stream ID than we're actually at ([discussion](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/13585#discussion_r951795379)). Previously, it sorted alphabetically by instance name which can be `null` and throw errors but more importantly, accomplishes nothing.

Fixes the following startup error which is why I started looking into this area:

```
$ poetry run synapse_homeserver --config-path homeserver.yaml
****************************************************************
 Error during initialisation:
    '<' not supported between instances of 'NoneType' and 'str'
 There may be more information in the logs.
****************************************************************
```

Somehow my database ended up looking like the following, notice the `instance_name` is `null` in the db, and we can't sort `NoneType` things. Another question is why do we see the `instance_name` as `null` sometimes instead of `master` in monolith mode?
```
$ psql synapse
synapse=# SELECT * FROM stream_positions;
   stream_name   | instance_name | stream_id
