This is needed, because reps_cache will get access to the new rep_cache data store.

This is the second part of multiple stacked and self-contained pull requests. The previous part is #4482. The next part is #4485.
Overall Goal
With the recent spam attack the number of representatives has increased significantly. All representatives and their vote weight are held in memory and this isn't a viable solution anymore. This series of pull requests moves the representatives out of memory and stores them in the database.
What this PR does
This PR inserts all representative weights into the database and also adjusts those weights whenever the rep_weights cache is updated. Still all representatives are in memory, but this will change in the next PR.
