div64_u64(): improve precision on 32bit platforms
The current implementation of div64_u64 for 32bit systems returns an
approximately correct result when the divisor exceeds 32bits. Since doing
64bit division using 32bit hardware is a long since solved problem we just
use one of the existing proven methods.
Additionally, add a div64_s64 function to correctly handle doing signed
64bit division.
