doc: modernize usage of “disk” and “core”
In documentation and comments, don’t assume that secondary storage devices are disk devices. Similarly, don’t assume that main memory uses magnetic cores, which became obsolete in the 1970s. * src/du.c (usage): * src/ls.c (usage): * src/shred.c (usage): Reword to avoid “disk” in usage messages.

* Tune trial division table size (not forgetting that this is a standalone

* Implement less naive powm, using k-ary exponentiation for k = 3 or
perhaps k = 4.
