Sets convergence_factor to an upper bound for C = \sup_{t, u \in I} \tfrac12 |f''(t)| / |f'(u)|, where I is convergence_interval and f is {poly, len}, obtained by evaluating f' and f'' on I. The bound is infinite unless f' is bounded away from zero on I; for polynomials with large coefficients, I must be narrow.
