Summary: Oldest-first mode for dispatchChanges script.

For each dispatch pass, dispatchChanges.php currently picks a target wiki at
random. This may cause some targets not to be updated for a long time (or, in
theory, ever).
To avoid this, dispatchChanges.php should have a mode that picks the oldest
(least recently updated) target wiki for each pass, trying to keep all targets
up top date.
Note that it would not be a good idea to just use that mode always, since it is
brittle against failure: if dispatching to a specific target fails in an
unexpected way, the next pass would try that target again (since it was not
updated), and again and again, never trying any other target again.
