[refpolicy] [PATCH 1/1] Allow httpd_t to change its system resources

When using lighttpd and server.max-fds is set, then the httpd_t domain requires the setrlimit (process) and sys_resource
(capability) privileges. As per fedora's (and now also Gentoo's) implementation we support this through a boolean called
"httpd_setrlimit" which is by default off).
