Description: Fix client code for hurd, avoiding malloc overflow
 When trying to setup a inet connection, it happens the following:
 - in libtirp, src/clnt_vc.c, clnt_vc_create gets called
 - when trying to allocate vc_fd_locks, __rpc_dtbsize() is used as size
   for that array of fd locks
 - __rpc_dtbsize(), in src/rpc_generic.c, queries using rlimit the
   maximum (rlim_max) number of file descriptors (RLIMIT_NOFILE):
   - on Linux, the default is { rlim_cur = 1024, rlim_max = 4096 }
   - on kFreeBSD, the default is { rlim_cur = 1024, rlim_max = 1024 }
   - on Hurd, the default is { rlim_cur = 1024, rlim_max = RLIM_INFINITY }
  meaning that on Hurd the memory allocation fails (as
  __rpc_dtbsize() * sizeof(int) overflows and is negative)

 Change libtiprc so __rpc_dtbsize falls back on rlim_cur if rlim_max
 is unlimited.

 This patch fixes the client connection using inet sockets; local unix
 sockets are not working, for two reasons so far:
 - getpeername on them gives EOPNOTSUPP
 - SO_REUSEADDR is not implemented for them
