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.

Don't check for systems, check for features instead.
In this specific case, what error does Cygwin report? Could
that be used to deal with the missing feature in a more
general way?
