Change file descriptor limit to 65535 (#37537)
Some systems default to a nofile ulimit of 65535. To reduce the pain of
deploying Elasticsearch to such systems, this commit lowers the required
limit from 65536 to 65535.

Nik Everett 2b3760f78b 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
