BLADE: Use "grow" semantics for population estimate (#1624)

Browse Source 
This changes the way percantage-based population estimates work, so that
they have a similar mechanism to grow(). This allows natural recovery
from 0, and also falling to 0 in finite steps.

This also changes the formula for reducing estimates to est / (1 + p)
instead of est * (1 - p). The latter becomes overpowered at large p,
we've seen this formula issue elsewhere (such as BN modifiers).
