--[[
Select a number of itemstacks out of a pool of treasure definitions randomly.

Parameters:
* loot_definitions: Probabilities and information about the loot to select. Syntax:

{
	stacks_min = 1,	-- Minimum number of item stacks to get. Default: 1
	stacks_max = 3, -- Maximum number of item stacks to get. Default: 1
	items = { -- Table of possible loot items. This function selects between stacks_min and stacks_max of these.
		{
		weight = 5,		-- Likelihood of this item being selected (see below). Optional (default: 1)

		itemstack = ItemStack("example:item1"), -- Itemstack to select
		-- OR
		itemstring = "example:item1", -- Which item to select
		amount_min = 1,		-- Minimum size of itemstack. Must not be larger than 6553. Optional (default: 1)
		amount_max = 10,	-- Maximum size of item stack. Must not be larger than item definition's stack_max or 6553. Optional (default: 1)
		wear_min = 1,		-- Minimum wear value. Must be at least 1. Optional (default: no wear)
		wear_max = 1,		-- Maxiumum wear value. Must be at least 1. Optional (default: no wear)
		},
		{ -- more tables like above, one table per item stack }
	}
}
* pr: PseudoRandom object used for the randomness

How weight works: The probability of a single item stack being selected is weight/total_weight, with
total_weight being the sum of all weight values in the items table. If you leave out the weight for
all items, the likelihood of each item being selected is equal.

Returns: Table of itemstrings
