core: improve block rate monitor trigger probabilities

Browse source 
The original intent of one false positive a week on average
was not met, since what we really want is not the probability
of having N blocks in T seconds, but either N blocks of fewer
in T seconds, or N blocks or more in T seconds.

Some of this could be cached since it calculates the same fairly
complex floating point values, but it seems pretty fast already.
