[issue34160] ElementTree not preserving attribute order

[Ned Batchelder]

To provide a little more context: coverage.py has tests that the XML reports it generates are correct.  It does this by comparing the result to saved XML files.  On Python versions up to 3.7, the file compares correctly.  It has sorted attributes generated by minidom.  Now on Python 3.8, the comparison fails.
