factor: don't ever declare composites to be prime
The multiple-precision factoring code (with HAVE_GMP) was copied from
a now-obsolete version of GMP that did not pass proper arguments to
the mpz_probab_prime_p function. It makes that code perform no more
than 3 Miller-Rabin tests only, which is not sufficient.
A Miller-Rabin test will detect composites with at least a probability
of 3/4. For a uniform random composite, the probability will actually
be much higher.
Or put another way, of the N-3 possible Miller-Rabin tests for checking
the composite N, there is no number N for which more than (N-3)/4 of the
tests will fail to detect the number as a composite. For most numbers N
the number of "false witnesses" will be much, much lower.
Problem numbers are of the form N=pq, p,q prime and (p-1)/(q-1) = s,
where s is a small integer. (There are other problem forms too,
involving 3 or more prime factors.) When s = 2, we get the 3/4 factor.
It is easy to find numbers of that form that cause coreutils' factor to
fail:
465658903
2242724851
6635692801
17709149503

There are 9008992 composites of the form with s=2 below 2^64. With 3
Miller-Rabin tests, one would expect about 9008992/64 = 140766 to be
invalidly recognized as primes in that range.

maint: get rid of obsolete script 'cvsu'
It was useful only back when coreutils used CVS as its version
control system.
* build-aux/cvsu: Delete.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove it.
* cfg.mk: Remove the two exemptions for this removed file.

build: don't use foo_LDADD if there's no foo program
For example, instead of factoring out the extra linker flags needed
by 'cp', 'mv' ind 'install' into a '$(copy_LDADD)' variable, factor
them out in a '$(copy_ldadd)' variable.
Partly a minor cleanup, partly a preparation for future changes.
* src/Makefile.am (copy_LDADD): Rename ...
(copy_ldadd): ... like this.
(remove_LDADD): Rename ...
(remove_ldadd): ... like this.
All uses adjusted. Some comments updated.
