Description:
The test tries to set the limit on open files to 1000000, expecting it to fail, but in Ubuntu 17.10 (at least currently), the hard limit is set to 1048576, so the change is accepted. While Ubuntu 17.10 is still is development so it's not 100% sure this behavior will remain, the proposed change (bump the value further up) is not risky.

How to repeat:
Run main.mysql_not_windows test on Ubuntu 17.10

Suggested fix:
Increase value in test and result files (e.g. to 10 million)

Fixed in 5.7.19, 8.0.2.

Work was done for test suite. No changelog entry needed.
