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.
