sd-event: change ordering of pending/ratelimited events

Instead of ordering non-pending before pending we should order
"non-pending OR ratelimited" before "pending AND not-ratelimited".
This fixes a bug where ratelimited events were ordered at the end of the
priority queue and could be stuck there for an indeterminate amount of
time.

(cherry picked from commit 81107b8419c39f726fd2805517a5b9faab204e59)
