Reward distribution: instead of the weight, we want to use the amount

[annatorok]

In the governance app, instead of the weight, we want to use the amount as a base for reward distribution.

We want to add a fix amount (with decimal) for reward distribution instead of relying on the weight (in the CSV file).

This 100% would need changes in iov-core (iov-bns-governance). In addition, the current implementation distributes all the funds between the recipients according to the weights; in order to distribute fixed amounts we would need to know the funds in advance.

The current implementation (which is indeed an IOV Core responsibility) ensures that the entire amount of the rewardFundAddress is split and sent. Having explicit amount comes with the risk of all kind of rounding issues.

What's the motivation for this ticket?

We will need to reward hundreds to thousands of depositors and, due to the limit on the number of txs in a batch, have to split the reward distributions into chunks. That means that we cannot empty the reward fund entirely in the first chunk.
