      pv-wrap, pv-launcher: Set a reasonable RLIMIT_NOFILE · 4854d072
      Simon McVittie authored
      We could inherit any RLIMIT_NOFILE from Steam or another caller, but
      we want to give games a predictable execution environment.
      
      If a game uses select(), allocates memory proportional to the soft limit
      on file descriptors, or loops for a number of iterations proportional to
      the soft limit on file descriptors (as we did prior to commit 97b5a8f6
      "pressure-vessel: Let short-term subprocesses inherit non-CLOEXEC fds"),
      then file descriptors numerically greater than 1023 are going to be a
      problem. If the soft limit is more than 1024 (= FD_SETSIZE), reduce it
      to 1024 to avoid this.
      
      Conversely, if we're launched with a soft limit strictly less than 1024,
      let's try to raise it to 1024 if the hard limit allows that.
