bug#24869: 26.0.50; Emacs should not force lower FD limit on subprocesses

[Philipp Stephani]

$ ulimit -n
32768
$ emacs -Q -f shell

In the Emacs Shell buffer, run 'ulimit -n' again, the limit will be
1024.
Internally this limit is required because Emacs uses fd_sets, but it
shouldn't be inherited to subprocesses.  Probably Emacs should reset
RLIMIT_NOFILE in subprocesses to the original value.
