Extend select+rlimit sanbox test to include poll.

POSIX specifies that poll() shall fail if "nfds argument is greater
than {OPEN_MAX}".  The setrlimit sandbox sets this to effectively zero
so this causes poll() to fail in the preauth privsep process.

This is likely the underlying cause for the previously observed similar
behaviour of select() on plaforms where it is implement in userspace on
top of poll().
