internal method to create and reset epsilon greedy bandit algorithm

Parameters

blkmem	block memory
bufmem	buffer memory
vtable	virtual function table with epsilon greedy callbacks
epsgreedy	pointer to store the epsilon greedy bandit algorithm
priorities	nonnegative priorities for each action, or NULL if not needed
eps	parameter to increase probability for exploration between all actions
preferrecent	should the weights be updated in an exponentially decaying way?
decayfactor	the factor to reduce the weight of older observations if exponential decay is enabled
avglim	nonnegative limit on observation number before the exponential decay starts, only relevant if exponential decay is enabled
nactions	the positive number of possible actions
initseed	initial random seed
