RESPONDERS: Make the fd_limit setting configurable

This code will now attempt first to see if it has privilege to set
the value as specified, and if not it will fall back to the
previous behavior. So on systems with the CAP_SYS_RESOURCE
capability granted to SSSD, it will be able to ignore the
limits.conf hard limit.
