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.
