Implement simple greedy algo to find more optimized root-delta tree for
a given objagg instance. This "hints" can be used by a driver to:
1) check if the hints are better (driver's choice) than the original
objagg tree. Driver does comparison of objagg stats and hints stats.
2) use the hints to create a new objagg instance which will construct
the root-delta tree according to the passed hints. Currently, only a
simple greedy algorithm is implemented. Basically it finds the roots
according to the maximal possible user count including deltas.

This lib tracks objects which could be of two types:
1) root object
2) nested object - with a "delta" which differentiates it from
the associated root object
The objects are tracked by a hashtable and reference-counted. User is
responsible of implementing callbacks to create/destroy root entity
related to each root object and callback to create/destroy nested object
delta.
