If we ever go for that, we should also consider raising the limit on
unix systems up to the hard limit when hitting the fd ceiling. I.e. get
the current limit with getrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE) and raise rlim_cur
[closer] to rlim_max with setrlimit.
Perhaps it'd even be worthwhile to just always raise the limit, if
possible, in set_max_safe_fds(), by max_safe_fds +
NUM_RESERVED_FDS. That way PLs, other shared libs, would have a more
usualy amount of FDs available. Rather than a fairly small number, but
only when the backend has been running for a while in the right
workload.
