step-registration: Reorder step definitions according to common prefix

[jenisys]

Currently, a new step is appended to the step registry (step category) when it is registered. This may lead to ambiguous steps during step registration, if the longest step text/pattern is not defined first.

DESIRED CHANGE:

Find best insertion position for a step during step registration

• to avoid unnecessary ambiguous step errors
• instead of appending the new step

NOTES:

• Makes step registration more costly
• Currently, the user is in control by ordering the steps
• Insertion algorithm must be "failsafe"
