/**
 * @file
 * @ingroup api_pfqn
 * Aggregate Queue Length (AQL) approximate MVA.
 *
 * Templated port of matlab/src/api/pfqn/pfqn_aql.m. AQL solves K+1 coupled
 * populations at once: the full population N and each N - e_s. The arrival
 * estimate is
 *   R(k,s|n) = L(k,s) [1 + (|n| - 1) (Q(k|n)/|n| - gamma(k,s))]
 * with the correction gamma(k,s) = Q(k|N)/|N| - Q(k|N - e_s)/(|N| - 1)
 * refreshed after every sweep. The aggregate queue length Q(k|n) is kept per
 * population rather than per class, which is what distinguishes AQL from
 * Linearizer and makes it cheaper by a factor of the class count.
 *
 * Iterates to a relative tolerance, so exact arithmetic buys nothing: the
 * static_assert records that.
