New description:

 We have
 {{{
 sage: next(xsrange(0, 2^63-2^10+2^9))
 ...
 OverflowError: Python int too large to convert to C long
 }}}
 This is because the internally used variable `count` is too large. We
 solve this problem by avoiding `xrange()`.

 Besides this, we also move `xsrange()` and related functions to a new
 Cython module `src/sage/arith/srange.pyx` and do some clean-up.
