Whenever we invoke external, foreign code from code that has
RLIMIT_NOFILE's soft limit bumped to high values, revert it to 1024
first. This is a safety precaution for compatibility with programs using
select() which cannot operate with fds > 1024.
This commit adds the call to rlimit_nofile_safe() to all invocations of
exec{v,ve,l}() and friends that either are in code that we know runs
with RLIMIT_NOFILE bumped up (which is PID 1 and all journal code for
starters) or that is part of shared code that might end up there.
The calls are placed as early as we can in processes invoking a flavour
of execve(), but after the last time we do fd manipulations, so that we
can still take benefit of the high fd limits for that.
