speed things up by introducing a minimum ratio between probabilities

Previously to avoid computing P(q,t|n)*P(n|mu) for large n when they were very
unlikely I was using a precomputed maximum n value based only on the expected
number of PE. However, this didn't take into account P(q|n).

This commit updates the likelihood function to dynamically decide when to quit
computing these probabilities when the probability for a given n divided by the
most likely probability is less than some threshold.

This threshold is currently set to 10**(-10) which means we quit calculating
these probabilities when the probability is 10 million times less likely than
the most probable value.
