FREQUENCIES: Use Freedman-Diaconis formula to choose histogram bin width.

Recently the FREQUENCIES procedure adopted Sturges' formula, more or less
arbitrarily, to choose the bin width of histograms.  Gaj Vidmar
<gaj.vidmar@mf.uni-lj.si>, however, recommended the Freedman-Diaconis
formula instead, so this commit adopts that formula instead.

Tested with only a few examples.
