Set upper bound for priorLogCarryingCapacity as the country population size #197

The upper bound for the total number of cases in covidvu.predict is currently 10^10. It should really be the population size of the corresponding country. See the variable priorLogCarryingCapacity.

@pr3d4t0r when we have access to population size of countries of the world, and US states, I can implement this. It'll stop us from making bonkers predictions by capping total # cases at e.g. 0.8*(population size).
