Right now, the bw auths group nodes into "slices" of 50 nodes of similar
consensus bandwidth. This is probably not the optimal grouping. They
should instead be grouped by stream capacity. This is also equivalent to
grouping them by the ratio of the consensus bandwidth to the descriptor
bandwidth.
This would be implemented as a PathSupport.RatioPercentRestriction. We
should then be able to easily switch from PercentileRestrictions to
RatioPercentileRestrictions without too much issue.
This will result in faster scans and more accurate measurements.
