We want to be able to tell explore_eval to target a specific number of examples to use while updating. The goal is to not go over the example count that we want

Added block_size argument to explore_eval. This should be calculated by doing:
#examples_in_file / #examples_to_use_during_update

The examples will then be processed in blocks of block_size. In each block one example can be used to update. If in that block none of the examples pass the threshold then the example quota is rolled over to the next block and the next block can select 2 examples to update and so on
