Check on number of iterations #22

I performed an experiment that compares 2023-11-02.allwiki.links.rank (computed with 40 iterations) with 2023-10-05.allwiki.links.rank (computed with 20 iterations) with Spearman ranking coefficient. Despite taking data from two different months, the coefficient turns out to be 0.9972269.

This gives us enough reason to lower the default number of iterations from 40 to 20.
