What this does:
Adds a /bucket_sampling endpoint, similar to /get_ursulas, but satisfying the staking provider caps defined in https://github.com/nucypher/nucypher/issues/3269. Additionally, allows the requester to pass their own random_seed in case they want to make the process reproducible (although there's a small potential variation since current uptime also affects node selection).
Why it's needed:
This PR ensures adopters have a mechanism available that disallows DKG cohorts are impacted by potential centralization forces when sampling.
Notes for reviewers:
Code is very similar to /get_ursulas, but with the appropriate changes to satisfy buckets caps.
