Subject: [PATCH] Configure nofiles ulimit in Terraform ECS task (#3249)

The low default ulimit `nofiles` value (`4096`) in Fargate was observed
to cause errors when running with a large number of hosts and a small
number of servers. Each server should be able to server more than 4096
simultaneous clients.
