/*
SW (Smooth Weighted) is a struct that contains weighted items and provides methods to select a weighted item.
It is used for the smooth weighted round-robin balancing algorithm. This algorithm is implemented in Nginx:
https://github.com/phusion/nginx/commit/27e94984486058d73157038f7950a0a36ecc6e35.

Algorithm is as follows: on each peer selection we increase current_weight
of each eligible peer by its weight, select peer with greatest current_weight
and reduce its current_weight by total number of weight points distributed
among peers.

In case of { 5, 1, 1 } weights this gives the following sequence of
current_weight's: (a, a, b, a, c, a, a)
