Distribute `n` items over the topology under `roots`.

Array `set` will be filled with `n` cpusets recursively distributed linearly over the topology under objects `roots`, down to depth `until` (which can be INT_MAX to distribute down to the finest level).

`n_roots` is usually 1 and `roots` only contains the topology root object so as to distribute over the entire topology.

This is typically useful when an application wants to distribute `n` threads over a machine, giving each of them as much private cache as possible and keeping them locally in number order.

The caller may typically want to also call hwloc_bitmap_singlify() before binding a thread so that it does not move at all.

`flags` should be 0 or a OR'ed set of hwloc_distrib_flags_e.

Note
  This function requires the `roots` objects to have a CPU set.
  This function replaces the now deprecated hwloc_distribute() and hwloc_distributev() functions.
