discourse: tweak default weights 

This commit changes the Discourse default weights around, mostly
significantly moving many weights (e.g. LIKES) that have a 0 backward
weight to have a small positive backward weight instead, like 1/16. In
practice, this mitigates an issue where users with few outbound edges
act as "cred sinks" because the cred gets stuck in a loop between the
user and content they've authored.

Test plan: In local experimentation, I've found the new weights produce
more reasonable-seeming cred attribution.
