3a5cf84317 stats: Add a way to specify if the data set is a population or a sample
This changes how we compute the variance. We want an unbiased variance
when reasoning about a sample.

203c3841fc stats: Zero the whole structure at init() time
Because the structure started small, I initialized every member
directly, but that means that the new fields added weren't properly
initialized (sigh!). Zero the whole thing first then.

Also, the punishment for introducing a bug should be to write the
corresponding unit test. It's not a perfect one, but I'll take it.

e55a11d3eb stats: Be more precise and talk about mean, not average
There are several types of averages eg. mean, median and mode.

06f5f7065f lib: Add a tiny utility function to compute averages
The master plan would be to get a bit more stats in it, at least the
standard deviation and confidence interval. Just need the average for
now.
