Bug #876637, prevent stack corruption when socket descriptor
is larger than FD_SETSIZE.
This can only be acheived with ulimit -n SOME_NUMBER_BIGGER_THAN_FD_SETSIZE
which is typically only available to root. Since this wouldn't normally
be run in a test (ie, run as root), it doesn't seem too worthwhile to
add a normal test. The bug report has one version of a test. I've
written another. Not sure what the best thing to do is.
Do the check before calling internal_select() because we can't set
an error in between Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS and Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS.
This seemed the clearest solution, ie handle before calling internal_select()
rather than inside. Plus there is at least one place outside
of internal_select() that needed to be handled.
Will backport.
