Grow the open ledger expected transactions quickly (RIPD-1630):

Browse Source 
* When increasing the expected ledger size, add on an extra 20%.
* When decreasing the expected ledger size, take the minimum of the
  validated ledger size or the old expected size, and subract another 50%.
* Update fee escalation documentation.
* Refactor the FeeMetrics object to use values from Setup
