The HRW hashing method allows to stick HTTP messages to their home back-end
servers, and preserve this mapping even if the number of servers is changed.
In order to achieve that, the tfw_sched_hash is updated. Now it hashes not only
HTTP requests, but also servers (TfwServer objects). For each incoming HTTP
request it searches for a best match among all server hashes.
Each Host/URI hash has only one best matching TfwSrver hash which is chosen,
and thus any request always goes to its home server unless it is offline.
