I think I fixed test 518. It now skips opening extra file descriptors
if it can't set RLIMIT_NOFILE high enough. I am assuming that libcurl
won't need more than 16 file descriptors (including 0-2).

I don't see a way for a test to skip itself or print a warning. The
test code prints a warning to stderr if the file descriptor stuff
fails, but it is never displayed anywhere. I suppose it's still
useful as a comment or if you run the test program manually.
Just be aware that the greater than FD_SETSIZE stuff won't actually be
tested on a lot of systems due to rlimits.

Also, I think that <errorcode> in the data file should be 0, not 2. I
am guessing that it was set to 2 since the test was failing so often.
