Request for approval 8021820: Number of opened files used in select() is limited to 1024 [macosx]

[Aleksej Efimov]

Hi,

This is a request to backport a JDK 8 fix for bug 8021820 to JDK 7u-dev.
The changes little differs from JDK 8 but identical to it by nature:  
The compilation flag for [.c|.cpp] files were added just to another 
place: jdk/make/common/Defs-macosx.gmk
The fix was already integrated into JDK 8.

The new test was executed successfully on all platforms.
