For obvious reasons, very most of all items on this list of inactive
development branches pre-date the Git conversion, which is when we added
the convention that shared development branches go into the 'devel/'
namespace.  So the current list does not reflect that current practice,
so given old practice, the 'devel/omp/gcc-9' etc. branches wouldn't sort
into 'd' but into 'o'.

By topic makes most sense to me.  And, 'devel/omp/gcc-9' definitively
should group right next to 'openacc-gcc-9-branch', as it began as a
direct translation of the latter.

For historical reasons, I have a (at least slight) preference to keep all
these branches right after the 'gomp-4_0-branch' -- where it all began.
This is a history chapter, after all.

And anyway, changing any of that would be a separate thing from simply
documenting the new 'devel/omp/gcc-10' branch, and retiring the
'devel/omp/gcc-9' branch.
