    core: Restore get_max_fds optimization on Linux
    
    * src/posix-io.c (get_max_fds): Restore Linux optimization, this time
    using open/getdents/close rather than opendir/readdir/closedir.
    --
    
    opendir/readdir/closedir may allocate/free memory, and aren't required
    to do so in an async-signal-safe way.  On the other hand, opening
    /proc/self/fd directly and iterating over it using getdents is safe.
    
    (getdents is not strictly speaking documented to be async-signal-safe
    because it's not in POSIX.  However, the Linux implementation is
    essentially just a souped-up read.  Python >= 3.2.3 makes the same
    assumption.)
