[patch] fortune(6): George Bernard Shaw quote fix
...
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) Fix longstanding math bug with denominator > 1 (wrong probability).
...
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.

I was confused a bit by the wrong construction with RAND_MAX
...
used in randomize_fd.c.
Although the max value is the same currently, RAND_MAX is for rand(),
not for random().
So move RANDOM_MAX const to the common file now, make it UL and
use in randomize_fd.c too.
(in any case its old value was 1 less then must be, as noted in
the prev. commit)

value with ((double)RAND_MAX + 1)
2) For exit code increase valid denominator upper range from 255 to 256
