Show the confidence interval of contestants' Elo scores somewhere #88

The Bayesian Elo score estimation is great, but the estimation itself is 
basically useless if we don't know its accuracy. For example, *losing* your 
first couple matches can actually result in a *high* estimated Elo score, so 
your bot gets placed very high, and even though the confidence interval is very 
large nobody is able to see this. I propose that we make the confidence 
interval public. It doesn't have to be on the ranking list, but I think at 
least showing it on a player's profile page would be appropriate.
