This is a DAO DAO proposal module which implements The Condorcet
Method.

https://www.princeton.edu/~cuff/voting/theory.html

This module lacks many basic features. For example, proposals and
choices do not have human readable names and descriptions. For this
first version, the goal is to build a correct, secure, and gas
efficent voting system that may be audited, not to build a proposal
module that is ready for use with humans and a frontend.

To this end, this module differs from `dao-proposal-single` and
`dao-proposal-multiple` in that it does not:

1. support revoting,
2. integrate with pre-propose modules, nor
3. support proposal and vote hooks

The ranked choice voting system used is described in detail
[here](./gercv.pdf). This contract will make no sense unless you read
that PDF first as there is a fair bit of math.
