Changes since 1.7: +2 -2 lines

Imported and adapted from FreeBSD svn r272166 and r272207; this fixes
false positives for products of primes larger than 2^16. For example,
before this commit:

  $ /usr/games/primes 4295360521 4295360522
  4295360521
but
  $ /usr/games/factor 4295360521
  4295360521: 65539 65539

or
  $ /usr/games/primes 3825123056546413049 3825123056546413050
  3825123056546413049
yet
  $ /usr/games/factor 3825123056546413049
  3825123056546413049: 165479 23115459100831

or
  $ /usr/games/primes 18446744073709551577
  18446744073709551577
although
  $ /usr/games/factor 18446744073709551577
  18446744073709551577: 139646831 132095686967

Incidentally, the above examples show the smallest and largest cases that
were erroneously stated as prime in the range 2^32 .. 3825123056546413049
.. 2^64; the primes(6) program now stops at 3825123056546413050 as
primality tests on larger integers would be by brute force factorization.

In addition, special to the NetBSD version:
. for -d option, skip first difference when start is >65537 as it is incorrect
. corrected usage to mention both the existing -d as well as the new -h option
