Miroslav Lichvar b428f901c7 quantiles: add support for quantile estimation
Add estimation of quantiles using the Frugal-2U streaming algorithm
(https://arxiv.org/pdf/1407.1121v1.pdf). It does not need to save
previous samples and adapts to changes in the distribution.

Allow multiple estimates of the same quantile and select the median for
better stability.
