Extend fraction to weighted samples #367

Description

@HDembinski

We have a fraction accumulator now, but it does not work correctly for weighted samples. However, we definitely need this in high-energy physics because we often estimate the efficiency of some detector from weighted simulation samples.

There are several ways how this could be implemented

  1. New class weighted_fraction<T>
  2. Specialization fraction<weighted_sum<T>>
  3. Template specialization fraction<T, bool weight_support = False>

Number 3) is my least favored. I like 2), if that's feasible.
