Summary
Remove the randomization of the Software Guide contributors list and replace with a static list in alphabetical order.
Rationale
Compiling the software guide overwrites a source file:
Documentation/SoftwareGuide/Latex/ContributorListRandom.tex
Which either stays as untracked modifications in the source tree, or is added to an irrelevant commit. Modifying the content of a source file randomly during each build is error prone. This RFC replaces it with a static contributor list in alphabetical order.
