Create a reducer that will compute the specified percentiles, e.g. given [0, 50, 100] will produce outputs named 'p0', 'p50', and 'p100' with the min, median, and max respectively. For small numbers of inputs (up to maxRaw) the percentiles will be computed directly; for larger numbers of inputs the percentiles will be derived from a histogram.
