File descriptors limit doesn't apply to Windows 

On Windows the JDK uses `CreateFileW` which has a stupidly high
limit for the number of `Handle`s it can make - `16 * 1024 * 1024`.
So this isn't really a problem on Windows at all.

Closes #20732

file descriptors can be disastrous and will most probably lead to data loss. file descriptors can be disastrous and will most probably lead to data loss.
