Erik Språng 51e60305e6 Update RateStatistics to handle too-little-data case.
To avoid the case where a single data point or too short window is used,
causing bad behavior due to bad stats, update RateStatistics to return
an Optional rather than a plain rate.

There was also a strange off by one bug where the rate was slightly
overestimated (N + 1 buckets, N ms time window).

These changes requires updates to a number of places, and may very well
cause seeming perf regressions (but the stats were probablty more wrong
previously).
