The base document for SRFI 141 is <
https://mumble.net/~campbell/tmp/division.txt>, which indeed specifies in
these sentences that r is nonzero.  I don't know why or how that dropped
out during my edits, so this PR is correct.

Someone should cross-check division.txt against the SRFI text.  to make
sure there are no other such accidental discrepancies.  Special scrutiny
should be given to the "balanced" procedures, which are not present in
division.txt, but correspond to the R6RS div0, mod0, and div-and-mod0
procedures.
