LP#1549505: tweak handling of the maximum popularity importance

From comments:

Scale the 0-5 effect of popularity badges by providing a multiplier
for the badge average based on the overall maximum
multiplier.  Two examples, comparing the effect to the default
$max_mult value of 2.0, which causes a $adjusted_scale value
of 0.2:

 * Given the default $max_mult of 2.0, the value of
   $adjusted_scale will be 0.2 [($max_mult - 1.0) / 5.0].
   For a record whose average badge score is the maximum
   of 5.0, that would make the relevance multiplier be
   2.0:
      1.0 + (5.0 [average score] * 0.2 [ $adjusted_scale ],
   This would have the effect of doubling the effective
   relevance of highly popular items.

 * Given a $max_mult of 1.1, the value of $adjusted_scale
   will be 0.02, meaning that the average badge value will be
   multiplied by 0.02 rather than 0.2, then added to 1.0 and
   used as a multiplier against the base relevance.  Thus a
   change of at most 10% to the base relevance for a record
   with a 5.0 average badge score. This will allow records
   that are naturally very relevant to avoid being pushed
   below badge-heavy records.

 * Given a $max_mult of 3.0, the value of $adjusted_scale
   will be 0.4, meaning that the average badge value will be
   multiplied by 0.4 rather than 0.2, then added to 1.0 and
   used as a multiplier against the base relevance. Thus a
   change of as much as 200% to (or three times the size of)
   the base relevance for a record with a 5.0 average badge
   score.  This in turn will cause badges to outweigh
   relevance to a very large degree.

The maximum badge multiplier can be set to a value less than
1.0; this would have the effect of making less popular items
show up higher in the results.  While this is not a likely
option for production use, it could be useful for identifying
interesting long-tail hits, particularly in a database
where enough badges are configured so that very few records
have an overage badge score of zero.
