The ab(1) command we use for testing is limited to 20000 open
connections under Debian jessie; a perfectly reasonable limit
to avoid port exhaustion.  I never noticed this limit before,
but systemd under Jessie seems to have upped the default
RLIMIT_NOFILE to 65536(!), causing ab to error out.

We don't even need 10K connections for testing,
we just need to hit *some* limit before we start expiring.
So lower the RLIMIT_NOFILE back to 1024 in the forked server
process so we can test more quickly without running out of
ports or memory, since exhausting the 65536 RLIMIT_NOFILE
limit is not going to happen with a single TCP address.
