Update RLIM_INFINITY for x86_64?

[Ken Brown]

My understanding is that RLIM_INFINITY is usually equal to (or very
close to) SIZE_MAX on Posix-like systems. If this is right, then I
think we need something like the attached patch.

Good catch, thank you!

I simplified this to a single definition

#define RLIM_INFINITY (~0UL)

and checked it in under your name.
