Summary: Add check for setrlimit() support

Initial Comment:
The new test_resource test calls resource.setrlimit() 
to change the file size limits. This fails on Cygwin, 
which supports setrlimit() and getrlimit(), just not 
changing that particular setting. (The same would 
apply to any other platforms that has those functions 
but not that particular feature.)

Since that getrlimit() works, and setrlimit() can be 
used for other reasons, a check for sys.platform was 
added to that part of the test.
