 Preserve argument order to (==)/eq in nub and nubBy

 This makes nub and nubBy behave as specified in the Haskell 98 Report.

 This reverts 0ad9def53842e86fb292eccb810190711c42d7c5, and
 fixes #3280, #7913 and #2528 (properly).

 Before this change, the output of `T2528` was (4x wrong):
 ```
 [A,B]
 [1,2]
 False
 False
 ```
