    tools/xenconsoled: Increase file descriptor limit
    
    XenServer's VM density testing uncovered a regression when moving from
    sysvinit to systemd where the file descriptor limit dropped from 4096 to
    1024. (XenServer had previously inserted a ulimit statement into its
    initscripts.)
    
    One solution is to use LimitNOFILE=4096 in xenconsoled.service to match the
    lost ulimit, but that is only a stopgap solution.
    
    As Xenconsoled genuinely needs a large number of file descriptors if a large
    number of domains are running, attempt to increase the limit.

    (cherry picked from commit 588df84c0d702e835e526ecef3af6c5444857558)
