 Changes to open-file caching limits and uncached file unserialization.

 - Unserializing files that were previously kicked out of the open-file
   cache would cause them to be fopen'd with the original access
   permissions which is usually 'w' and causes truncation.  They
   are now opened in 'a' mode.  (addresses #780)

 - Add 'max_files_in_cache' script option to manually set the maximum
   amount of opened files to keep cached.  Mainly this just helped
   to create a simple test case for the above change.

 - Remove unused NO_HAVE_SETRLIMIT preprocessor switch.

 - On systems that don't enforce a limit on number of files opened for
   the process, raise default max size of open-file cache from
   32 to 512.
