    Cygwin: getdtablesize: always return OPEN_MAX_MAX
    
    According to the Linux man page for getdtablesize(3), the latter is
    supposed to return "the maximum number of files a process can have
    open, one more than the largest possible value for a file descriptor."
    The constant OPEN_MAX_MAX is the only limit enforced by Cygwin, so we
    now return that.
    
    Previously getdtablesize returned the current size of cygheap->fdtab,
    Cygwin's internal file descriptor table.  But this is a dynamically
    growing table, and its current size does not reflect an actual limit
    on the number of open files.
    
    With this change, gnulib now reports that getdtablesize and
    fcntl(F_DUPFD) work on Cygwin.  Packages like GNU tar that use the
    corresponding gnulib modules will no longer use gnulib replacements on
    Cygwin.
