It makes various lsp and file watching use cases usable, but I make no
representations about whether Emacs is faster or slower as a result.

Gripping hand option: increase FD_SETSIZE on macOS only, which is a
minimally invasive change that doesnʼt affect nor help other
platforms, but does not have the same fun potential to break stuff :-)
