The SamplingPruner implements "normal" sampling with equivalence-class
reuse. Unlike the FESamplingPruner, the SamplingPruner implements
uniform fault-space sampling that counts multiple hits of an
equivalence class.
This change modifies the database schema, more specifically it adds
the "weight" column to the fspgroup table. Update existing databases
with this query:
ALTER TABLE fspgroup ADD COLUMN weight INT UNSIGNED;

In the sampling step, the --no-weighting switch disables the
equivalence-class weighting by using a weight of one instead of the
equivalence-class size. This is usually not a good idea, and should
only be used for demonstration purposes, or if the fault model
requires weight-less sampling.

The --use-known-results switch simulates sampling (with fault
expansion, FESamplingPruner) by reusing results from a previous
campaign covering the full fault space (that used the "basic" pruner).
The pruner only creates entries in the "fspgroup" table that refer to
already existing pilots and corresponding results.
This switch is not for normal Fail* use, but only for experimenting
with the FESamplingPruner.

By using the AliasedRegistry, "prune-trace --help" (and
"prune-trace -p '?'") now lists all available Pruners to the user.

The FESamplingPruner implements the fault-expansion variance reduction
technique (FE-VRT) as described in: Smith, D. Todd and Johnson, Barry W. and
Andrianos, Nikos and Profeta, III, Joseph A., "A variance-reduction technique
via fault-expansion for fault-coverage estimation" (1997), 366--374.
