Willy Tarreau ac35093a19 MEDIUM: init: make the global maxconn default to what rlim_fd_cur permits
The global maxconn value is often a pain to configure :
  - in development the user never has the permissions to increase the
    rlim_cur value too high and gets warnings all the time ;

  - in some production environments, users may have limited actions on
    it or may only be able to act on rlim_fd_cur using ulimit -n. This
    is sometimes particularly true in containers or whatever environment
    where the user has no privilege to upgrade the limits.

  - keeping config homogenous between machines is even less easy.

We already had the ability to automatically compute maxconn from the
memory limits when they were set. This patch goes a bit further by also
computing the limit permitted by the configured limit on the number of
FDs. For this it simply reverses the rlim_fd_cur calculation to determine
maxconn based on the number of reserved sockets for listeners & checks,
the number of SSL engines and the number of pipes (absolute or relative).

This way it becomes possible to make maxconn always be the highest possible
value resulting in maxsock matching what was set using "ulimit -n", without
ever setting it. Note that we adjust to the soft limit, not the hard one,
since it's what is configured with ulimit -n. This allows users to also
limit to low values if needed.

Just like before, the calculated value is reported in verbose mode.

The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for
ease of use.

Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for :

  - INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy
  - LICENSE for the project's license
  - CONTRIBUTING for the process to follow to submit contributions

The more detailed documentation is located into the doc/ directory :

  - doc/intro.txt for a quick introduction on HAProxy
  - doc/configuration.txt for the configuration's reference manual
  - doc/lua.txt for the Lua's reference manual
  - doc/SPOE.txt for how to use the SPOE engine
  - doc/network-namespaces.txt for how to use network namespaces under Linux
  - doc/management.txt for the management guide
  - doc/regression-testing.txt for how to use the regression testing suite
  - doc/peers.txt for the peers protocol reference
  - doc/coding-style.txt for how to adopt HAProxy's coding style
  - doc/internals for developer-specific documentation (not all up to date)
