Request to update dep. quantile_estimator

[kivra-pauoli]

Hi, @deadtrickster.

We're using the latest version of prometheus.erl, and see it depends on quantile_estimator.

When compiling using Erlang/OTP 26 we get a few warnings, that https://github.com/odo/quantile_estimator/pull/4 addresses (and https://github.com/odo/quantile_estimator/pull/3 seems to duplicate, or rather the other way around, in terms of similar solution - I didn't check this exhaustively).

I see that the Hex.pm package for quantile_estimator is (also?) maintained by you (you, at least, published 0.2.1), but I can't figure out the source for it, because there's no link to the Git source (it might be your fork or, hopefully, the upstream lib.).

While I'd be happy to do some of the following, I still need your help with those that require tagging/release/publication:

• [ ] (potentially) add a GitHub link to quantile_estimator
• [ ] rebase on top of most recent odo/quantile_estimator (to fix two outstanding issues on OTP 26+)
• [ ] (potentially) tag (GitHub) quantile_estimator
• [ ] (potentially) Hex.pm publish quantile_estimator
• [ ] import the new version of quantile_estimator to prometheus.erl and tag/release it (in GitHub and Hex.pm)

Thanks.

@deadtrickster, is it possible I help in any of the above steps to see this through? Thank you.

Edit: I'm going the path of least resistance, for now 😆, and staying at 26.0.x. Maybe this issue'll get resolved in the future, and we'll benefit from that then. Thanks. In any case, feel free to reopen if you feel I can further help, and I'll do what I can/time allows.
