Re-org with distr::slice, distr::weighted modules (#1548)

- Move `Slice` -> `slice::Choose`, `EmptySlice` -> `slice::Empty`
- Rename trait `DistString` -> `SampleString`
- Rename `DistIter` -> `Iter`, `DistMap` -> `Map`
- Move `{Weight, WeightError, WeightedIndex}` -> `weighted::{Weight,
Error, WeightedIndex}`
- Move `weighted_alias::{AliasableWeight, WeightedAliasIndex}` ->
`weighted::{..}`
- Move `weighted_tree::WeightedTreeIndex` ->
`weighted::WeightedTreeIndex`

+//!
+//! This module is a superset of [`rand::distr::weighted`].
+//!
+//! Multiple implementations of weighted index sampling are provided:
+//!
+//! -   [`WeightedIndex`] (a re-export from [`rand`]) supports fast construction
+//!     and `O(log N)` sampling over `N` weights.
+//!     It also supports updating weights with `O(N)` time.
+//! -   [`WeightedAliasIndex`] supports `O(1)` sampling, but due to high
+//!     construction time many samples are required to outperform [`WeightedIndex`].
+//! -   [`WeightedTreeIndex`] supports `O(log N)` sampling and
+//!     update/insertion/removal of weights with `O(log N)` time.
