[FEA] Explicitly guarantee row group ordering in the parquet reader.

From @devavret , the question came up as to whether we guarantee the relative ordering of row groups across multiple input files in the parquet reader. That is, if you have two files [f1, f2]
and the row groups within the files (in one column) are specified as [[r0,r3], [r0,r1]]
, do we guarantee the output ordering would be [f1r0, f1r3, f2r0, f2r1]
The code does in fact do this for both the explicitly specified case and the unspecified (empty user input / all row groups), but we don't make any guarantees about it. Seems like a safe and easy thing to add.
