Make EstimateMedianVal smarter about small failures.
Instead of stopping if it encounters a "sufficient" number of transactions which don't meet the threshold for being confirmed within the target, it keeps looking to add more transactions to see if there is a temporary blip in the data. This allows a smaller number of required data points.
