Follow Stream: ensure linear performance with many packets
Reverse the payload chunks list to achieve a running time of O(n) rather than O(n²) for insertion of all chunks. Executing a RelWithDebInfo+ASAN build with `tshark -r chargen-session.pcapng.gz -qz follow,tcp,hex,0` previously took 11m5s to complete, but now finishes in 16 seconds. Tested using a capture file with 152k TCP packets (from bug 11777). Backport note: must update ui/gtk/follow_stream.c too.
