Quadrilateral $ABCD$ has right angles at $B$ and $C$, $\triangle ABC \sim \triangle BCD$, and $AB > BC$. There is a point $E$ in the interior of $ABCD$ such that $\triangle ABC \sim \triangle CEB$ and the area of $\triangle AED$ is $17$ times the area of $\triangle CEB$. What is $\tfrac{AB}{BC}$? $\textbf{(A) \ } 1+\sqrt{2} \qquad \textbf{(B) \ } 2+\sqrt{2}\qquad \textbf{(C) \ } \sqrt{17}\qquad \textbf{(D) \ } 2+\sqrt{5} \qquad \textbf{(E) \ } 1+2\sqrt{3}$
