Pseudo-addon: Forum topic polls (custom)

Description Allow forum topic polls to display results that are normalised based on the number of points the voter holds, via some kind of algorithm that could easily be tweaked in the code.

For example, let's say there's a poll with answers A, B & C, and we have votes like...

Bob: A
Sue: B
Charlie: A
Sandy: A

And Sue has way more points, then the results would show B in the lead.

Maybe the number of points a user has would be taken logarithmicly so as to not skew things all too much if there's a high discrepancy. Or maybe there'd be a cap. Maybe add config options to make this explicitly configurable.

Once a poll ends, the results based on the current algorithm would auto-post into the topic via the 'System' user (see #4774).
