Present updates in chronological order

Liveblog updates appear in reverse chronological order, and new updates are added to the top. It might be useful to allow users to easily flip that.

This order is a conscious choice and matches how other services (e.g. Twitter, Facebook, etc.) display updates. Adding a reverse option is additional code to maintain.

Couldn't we make it easy to do with some filter action though? I'm happy to do the PR

There's a lot more we'd need to factor in at the javascript level as well (e.g. with smart updates).

We should flip the order when a liveblog is archived. Much easier to read about past events in chronological order. No Ui options.
