What does this PR do?

After a considerable amount of googling and strace yesterday, I learned that there's a bug in certain older versions of apt-get in debian, where it'll try to iterate through all possible FDs as set by internal linux system limits. This results in some amusing strace output:

fcntl(337334262, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC)    = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)

This only happens on certain docker installs where the docker daemon won't set the NOFILE ulimit in its containers.

This fix just adds a ulimit flag to the docker invocation when needed.

Why is it important?

On systems that hit this bug, mage package on filebeat can take up to an hour, purely due to the apt-get update operation.

I don't think we need a changelog entry for this because it isn't user facing. This could go in the developer changelog though.

@AndersonQ this might be the root cause of the issue I remember you experiencing some time ago with apt-get update taking forever.

@ph it is likely worth porting this to the agent repository.

I believe we should backport this to 7.17 as well.
