File descriptors are an int, but our stdio FILE object uses a short to hold

them.  Thus, any fd whose value is greater than SHRT_MAX is handled
incorrectly (the short value is sign-extended when converted to an int).
An unpleasant side effect is that if fopen() opens a file and gets a
backing fd that is greater than SHRT_MAX, fclose() will fail and the file
descriptor will be leaked.  Better handle this by fixing fopen(), fdopen(),
and freopen() to fail attempts to use a fd greater than SHRT_MAX with
EMFILE.

At some point in the future we should look at expanding the file descriptor
in FILE to an int, but that is a bit complicated due to ABI issues.
