Actions: Order quoted strings by their ID, not text

In the Bash parser, we compute a mostly-unique ID for each
quoted string within a shell script block.
Quoted strings are then ranked and referred to individually.

Avoid a performance bottleneck by ranking quoted strings by their
ID, not by their source text.
I think this was the original intent of the code.

Ranking by their original text ends up evaluating multiple
possible orderings, which is slow on workflows that contain
multiple complex quoted strings, such as JSON payloads.
