contrib: systemd: set Limit* to infinity

cyphar · cyphar · commit 8db61095a3d0 · 2016-07-04T23:00:28.000+10:00
There is a not-insignificant performance overhead for all containers (if
containerd is a child of Docker, which is the current setup) if systemd
sets rlimits on the main Docker daemon process (because the limits
propogate to all children).
