Willy Tarreau 304e17eb88 MEDIUM: init: always try to push the FD limit when maxconn is set from -m
When a maximum memory setting is passed to haproxy and maxconn is not set
and ulimit-n is not set, it is expected that maxconn will be set to the
highest value permitted by this memory setting, possibly affecting the
FD limit.

When maxconn was changed to be deduced from the current process's FD limit,
the automatic setting above was partially lost because it now remains
limited to the current FD limit in addition to being limited to the
memory usage. For unprivileged processes it does not change anything,
but for privileged processes the difference is important. Indeed, the
previous behavior ensured that the new FD limit could be enforced on
the process as long as the user had the privilege to do so. Now this
does not happen anymore, and some people rely on this for automatic
sizing in VM environments.

This patch implements the ability to verify if the setting will be
enforceable on the process or not. First it computes maxconn based on
the memory limits alone, then checks if the process is willing to accept
them, otherwise tries again by respecting the process' hard limit.

Thanks to this we now have the best of the pre-2.0 behavior and the
current one, in that privileged users will be able to get as high a
maxconn as they need just based on the memory limit, while unprivileged
users will still get as high a setting as permitted by the intersection
of the memory limit and the process' FD limit.

Ideally, after some observation period, this patch along with the
previous one "MINOR: init: move the maxsock calculation code to
compute_ideal_maxsock()" should be backported to 2.1 and 2.0.

Thanks to Baptiste for raising the issue.
