Estimates the total bandwidth a representation uses alongside sibling content
types, pairing it with the cheapest sibling rendition in its proportional
bucket.
Each content type's sorted list is split into as many buckets as this
representation's own list has tiers; the representation is paired with the
cheapest sibling rendition in the matching bucket. A stream with few tiers
therefore stays selected across the span of a finer sibling's tiers (e.g. the
top audio across the top half of video tiers) rather than being pinned to a
single endpoint — with video [v1..v4] and audio [a1,a2], a1's bucket is
v1..v2 so a1 pairs with v2, and a2's bucket is v3..v4 so a2 pairs with v4.
