[tor-commits] [tor/maint-0.3.2] Remove an erroneous 0.5 in compute_weighted_bandwidths()

    Remove an erroneous 0.5 in compute_weighted_bandwidths()
    
    Back in 0.2.4.3-alpha (e106812a778f537), when we switched from using
    double to using uint64 for selecting by bandwidth, I got the math
    wrong: I should have used llround(x), or (uint64_t)(x+0.5), but
    instead I wrote llround(x+0.5).  That means we would always round
    up, rather than rounding to the closest integer
    
    Fixes bug 23318; bugfix on 0.2.4.3-alpha.

+  o Minor bugfixes (path selection):
+    - When selecting relays by bandwidth, avoid a rounding error that
+      could sometimes cause load to be imbalanced incorrectly. Previously,
+      we would always round upwards; now, we round towards the nearest
+      integer.  This had the biggest effect when a relay's weight adjustments
+      should have given it weight 0, but it got weight 1 instead.
