systemd,manual: set LimitNOFILE=65536 

A typical OS imposed limit is 1024 open FD, which is too low when there
are thousands of HNB.

In systemd service file, set a super high limit of 65536.

In osmo-hnbgw's user manual, add section 'Configure limits' describing
this in detail.

=== Configure limits
When connecting hundreds of HNB to OsmoHNBGW, it may be necessary to adjust the
operating system's limit on open file descriptors for the osmo-hnbgw process. A
typical default limit imposed by operating systems is 1024; this would be
exceeded by, for example, about 1024 HNB on Iuh, sockets for other interfaces
not considered yet.
It should be ok to set an OS limit on open file descriptors as high as 65536
for osmo-hnbgw, which practically rules out failure from running out of file
descriptors anywhere (<50,000 HNB).
When using systemd, the file descriptor limit may be adjusted in the service
file by the `LimitNOFILE` setting ("Number of Open FILE descriptors").
OsmoHNBGW ships a systemd service file with a high LimitNOFILE setting.
