Newly added tracks should (optionally) have a greater weight (in the sense
described in  issue 10 ) than others.  How much they are upweighted and how
long for should be configuration options.

  This will allow disorder-choose to add a bias in favor of those tracks
  (cf defect 11).

disorder.dev's disorder-choose implements biasing, though not yet in favor of
recently added tracks.  MdW was talking about changing it to be lighter on
/dev/urandom, though  it's quick enough to go if further changes don't appear.
