interface RankProcessor

The definition of a rank processor, used by the default rank processing model.
The rank processor life-cycle is the following:

1. First an instance of the class is created through its no-arg constructor;
2. Then the method processPhasePlayerRanks(LocalPhase,Collection,int,List) may be called multiple times.
