Raise default nofile limit to fix silent game launch failures

Wine/Proton's winediag channel logs 'Too many open files' when the
common Linux default (1024–4096) is hit, which can cause a game to
silently fail to launch with no other visible error in Steam's own
console. Confirmed via a real Path of Exile 2 launch failure, fully
resolved by raising the limit via a PAM limits.d drop-in.
