HRW library supports weighted sorting. Weights must be normalized before applying. Since there could be different types of normalization for multiple criteria, there is no point to perform simple normalization in this library. Pass a slice of normalized weights to the `SortByWeight` functions. This commit proposes to: - remove normalization routine from `SortByWeight` function; - add `ValidateWeights` function to check if weights are normalized; - rename `weight` -> `distance` to avoid naming confusion between hash distance and actual weights; - use testify lib in the tests;

Golang HRW implementation
Rendezvous or highest random weight (HRW) hashing is an algorithm that allows clients to achieve distributed agreement on a set of k options out of a possible set of n options. A typical application is when clients need to agree on which sites (or proxies) objects are assigned to. When k is 1, it subsumes the goals of consistent hashing, using an entirely different method.
