Description
A port of the Java [SortValues](https://beam.apache.org/documentation/sdks/java-extensions/) extension would be helpful in the Go SDK.
Brief summary of the extension: for a GroupByKey or CoGroupByKey operation, allow the user to specify that the value streams per key should be sorted (either by their byte encoding or by a secondary sort key) upon delivery the user's ParDo.
Imported from Jira [BEAM-4405](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-4405). Original Jira may contain additional context.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the Go SDK's GroupByKey and CoGroupByKey entry points, then compare the Java SortValues extension linked in the issue and consult the imported BEAM-4405 context. Define how byte-encoding and secondary-key ordering should be exposed and delivered to ParDo users; done means the behavior is implemented and covered for both grouping operations.
