Michael Paquier 71d84efba7 Fix error handling of vacuumdb and reindexdb when running out of fds
When trying to use a high number of jobs, vacuumdb (and more recently
reindexdb) has only checked for a maximum number of jobs used, causing
confusing failures when running out of file descriptors when the jobs
open connections to Postgres.  This commit changes the error handling so
as we do not check anymore for a maximum number of allowed jobs when
parsing the option value with FD_SETSIZE, but check instead if a file
descriptor is within the supported range when opening the connections
for the jobs so as this is detected at the earliest time possible.

Also, improve the error message to give a hint about the number of jobs
recommended, using a wording given by the reviewers of the patch.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
