sort_dependencies

Sort a list of (app_config, models) pairs into a single list of models.

The single list of models is sorted so that any model with a natural key is serialized before a normal model, and any model with a natural key dependency has it's dependencies serialized first.

If allow_cycles is True, return the best-effort ordering that will respect most of dependencies but ignore some of them to break the cycles.
