    Cygwin: setrlimit: Add a permission check
    
    If the incoming soft limit is less restrictive than the current
    hard limit, bail out with EPERM.  Given the previous sanity check,
    this implies trying to raise the hard limit.  While, theoretically,
    this should be allowed for privileged processes, Windows has no
    matching concept in terms of job limits
