find_divisor

Find a divisor between <code>divisor_from</code> and <code>divisor_to</code> such that
<code>sum(round_func(votes/divisor))</code> equals <code>target_seats</code>

internal

Calculate seat apportionment for legislative bodies with
various methods. The algorithms include divisor or highest averages methods
(e.g. Jefferson, Webster or Adams), largest remainder methods and
biproportional apportionment.
