Expert and load balance assignment result

The results represents the list of candidates (up to 5) that were considered for the code review assignment, along with their corresponding scores across all files, and their active review load. The final scores are then calculated by discounting expert scores based on the review load.

For instance, in the example above, the user draftcode has an expert score of 1.0, but after discounting for the current load of 7, their score went down to -0.4 .
