Initial creation of a HIP to change CG election protocol to randomly elect CG members vs. using hotspots score which has been shown to be unreliable and easily gamed.

Rendered view: https://github.com/helium/HIP/blob/fcd14e14c94b0642ddff59cf8110d2ea8a9fd304/00XX-random-CG-election.md


Additionally, it should be noted that PoC and CG have distinct portions of the HNT reward pool. As such, there should be a distinct mechanism for rewarding these. However the current scoring mechanism, if functioning properly, tightly couples these rewards: better PoC performance => higher score => greater chance to CG membership => more CG reward.

### Alternative: Randomly assign hotspot score

This alternative and the below alternative and the actual proposal are essentially the same, I think that these can be removed.
