Fast Weighted Random Sampling from discrete distributions. i.e Selecting items from a weighted list.
/*
WRS.c
(c) AShelly (github.com/ashelly)
Weighted random sampling with replacement of N items in O(1) time.
(After preparing a O(N) sized buffer in O(N) time.)
The concept is:
Randomly select a buffer index. Each index is selected with probablilty 1/N.
Each index stores the fraction of hits for which this item should be selected,
