RFR: 8300088: [IMPROVE] OPEN_MAX is no longer the max limit on macOS >= 10.6 for RLIMIT_NOFILE [v5]

> On current macOS (> 10.6) we can use `RLIM_INFINITY` for `setrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE)`, even though the man page for setrlimit(2) claims otherwise.
> 
> The only wrinkle here is that some terminals (ksh) will crash with `RLIM_INFINITY`, because that value overflows `int` type, which they use internally, causing crash, so we work around that by using `INT_MAX` instead of `RLIM_INFINITY`.
