Subject: [PATCH] RSA generation: change exponent to 2^16+1.

This is probably overdue; everyone else seems to have settled on it as
the preferred RSA key exponent for some time. And now that the
descendant of mp_mod_short supports moduli up to 2^32 instead of 2^16,
I can actually add it without the risk of assertion failures during
prime generation.
