prop_quantile/0 is by it's nature non-deterministic, and the comments/notes make it clear. Rather than tolerate it breaking the build periodically, this commit changes the property by using eqc's `?SOMETIMES` macro. If a test fails 3 times in a row then we assume that it is a deterministic failure, a bug. Otherwise, assume it is the noted "loosy goosy" nature of the comparison and pass the property. NOTE: still think we should find and fit the error bounds.
