Even though the `file(GLOB)` documentation specifically warns against
using it to collect a list of source files, projects often do it anyway.
Since it uses `readdir()`, the list of files will be unsorted.
This list is often passed directly to add_executable / add_library.
Linking binaries with an unsorted list will make it unreproducible,
which means that the produced binary will differ depending on the
unpredictable `readdir()` order.
To solve those reproducibility issues in a lot of programs (which don't
explicitly `list(SORT)` the list manually), sort the resulting list of
the `file(GLOB)` command.
A more detailed rationale about reproducible builds is available
[here](https://reproducible-builds.org/).
GLOB lists directories by default and GLOB_RECURSE does not.
LIST_DIRECTORIES enables user to control the behavior explicitly for
consistently for both GLOB and GLOB_RECURSE.
