Fix bugs when printing plurals of numbers that are not
unsigned long int values. * src/system.h (select_plural): New function. * src/md5sum.c (digest_check): Use select_plural to avoid bug. * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Likewise. * src/dd.c (print_stats): Likewise. Also, don't use ngettext to print a floating point number, as reducing to 0 or 1 doesn't work for some languages. Instead, just use "s" for seconds since it doesn't need a plural form.
