crypto: improve prime size argument validation

The current validation in JavaScript is insufficient and also produces
an incorrect error message, restricting the size parameter to 32-bit
values, whereas the C++ backend restricts the size parameter to the
positive range of an int.

This change tightens the validation in JavaScript and adapts the error
message accordingly, making the validation in C++ superfluous.
