The previous revision was flawed in numerous ways:
- the if condition would depend on garbage stack values
- grdc(6) would loop n times, not n seconds. This only makes
a difference if it takes more than 1 second to recalculate/redraw
the display.
- style(9) violations
The following change adds argument checking and tracks the elapsed time
between loops explicitly and will exit after roughly n seconds.
While here sort headers and remove bogus #ifndef

- Keep timespec 'now' and 'delay' separate to avoid confusion
- Increase user-supplied n to run _at least_ n seconds, not max n

This is a partial sync against the DragonflyBSD sources, where a lot of
fixes from Free, Net and OpenBSD were merged previously. Only about 50%
of the changes originate from there, the rest was done by dougb and
yours truly.

Although not explicitly mentioned in style(9), it allows for easier
grepping of exit points. This reverts part of r203926.

Traditionally, grdc would obtain time through time(3) which in turn gets
only the second part of clock (CLOCK_SECOND), and sleep for 1 second after
each screen refresh.
This approach would have two problems. First, we are not guaranteed to
be waken up at the beginning of a whole second, which will typically
exhibit as a "lag" on second number. Second, because we sleep for whole
second, and the refresh process would take some time, the error would
accumulate from time to time, making the lag variable.
Make grdc(6) to use time(3) to get time only at the beginning, and sample
time in CLOCK_REALTIME_FAST granularity after refreshing, and use the
nanosecond part to caculate how much time we want to sleep.

Check if large factor is prime before applying Pollard's algorithm;
fixes "factor 2147483647111311". Increase base if p-1 algorithm
reaches 1; fixes "factor 99999999999991".

From the original PR:
s/milestones/millstones/
and less important..
s/man/Man/
Not every source I've seen capitalizes 'Man', but it seems
right. Uncapitalized 'man' would usually be preceded by
an 'a'. But I haven't seen any reference cite the orignal
source yet, so I can't say for sure.

1) Split too long source lines
2) Portable code should not assume that null pointer == all-bits-0,
so back out prev. calloc() change.
Submitted by: bde
1) Rename RANDOM_MAX to RANDOM_MAX_PLUS1 to not confuse with random()'s max
2) Use calloc() instead of zeroing fields explicitly
3) "too many lines" -> "too many delimiters" for err()
Test case:
random -f some_small_file 10000
(in most cases must be no output)
2) Prevent number of lines > RANDOM_MAX (overflow or nothing may be
choosed) with EFBIG err()
3) After line is found, terminate list loop for -U case too,
since nothing to do in the rest of the loop left.
