The `pselect_fd_too_big` test is checking for the case where the `nfds`
is larger than the number of open files allowed for this process
(RLIMIT_NOFILE). According to the man page, if `nfds` > RLIMIT_NOFILE is
evaluate to true the pselect6 syscall should return EINVAL.

In fact, the Linux implementation of the pselect6 syscall[1] does not
compare the `nfds` and RLIMIT_NOFILE but rather caps `nfds` to the
highest numbered fd of the current process.

It was observed elsewhere that there is a discrepancy between the manual
page and the implementation [2].

As a solution, replace the current testcase with one that checks the
behaviour of the syscall when passed an invalid FD.
