[issue37436] os.path.isfile() with big number cause OverflowError: fd is greater than maximum

Personally I prefer TypeError. Use file descriptor is rare, I never used it in Python script.
I encountered this because arguments passed in wrong order in my function, then I passed the wrong argument to isfile() without checking.
Make isfile() returns False would make it harder to find bugs in user program.
