Issue Description

Through out the code we are inconsistent about our use of sysconf or getdtablesize. We have some defines that are not consistent (such as use_sysconf OR linux) and other places that just look for use sysconf.

We should clean this up,

ok. but now getdtablesize() is no more used and we can completely remove it eg. from

 #ifdef SUNOS4

and maybe a lot of stuff in portable.h could be eliminated as well

Yep, I completely agree. I saw a lot that I could cleanup in this area tbh. I've wanted to clean up our portability headers for a while, so maybe I will do that too.

@elkris Do you want to ack this as is? Or should I clean all of portable.h in this instead? What do you think?

@elkris it sounds like @cgrzemba wants to fix our solaris support, so perhaps this should roll into a portability cleanup? Would you be happy for me to fix that up here?

@Firstyear, it got hanging for a while...
If you still would like to make the change, it'll need PR. :)

Or we can close it if it's not relevant anymore.

I still think it's relevant, but I also am not sure I am bothered enough to make a PR ....
