Bruno Randolf af55688435 lib: Improve EWMA efficiency by using bitshifts
Using bitshifts instead of division and multiplication should improve
performance. That requires weight and factor to be powers of two, but i think
this is something we can live with.

Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for the improved formula!

* DOC: Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA)

* up internal representation of the average value to prevent rounding errors.
* The factor for scaling up and the exponential weight (or decay rate) have to
* be specified thru the init fuction. The structure should not be accessed
* directly but only thru the helper functions.
