Building a ranked-choice voting site for new stream ideas

This stream is pretty different from the other ones. It's relatively informal, and is mostly me hacking together a website for you all to vote on upcoming stream ideas. I had this idea that it'd be cool to use ranked choice voting for it, since it would allow you to vote once for many ideas, as opposed to having to run many one-off Twitter polls, and that's what we're implementing here. It's mostly just hacking together rocket.rs + diesel + https://github.com/LivingInSyn/rcir, but some of you may still find it interesting!

The final voting site code is up at https://github.com/jonhoo/vote.rs, and you can start voting at https://jon.thesquareplanet.com/live-coding/.
