This provides a belt-and-suspends check against file descriptor overflowing, to fix #6411.

Suggest removing " (file descriptor limit exceeded?)" since this description is inaccurate and likely to confuse someone trying to debug it.

"non-selectable socket created" is completely unhelpful for indicating the reason or helping debug it. So I prefer to explain it a bit at least. Do you have a better suggestion?

I'd say the file descriptor limit exceeded is the part of the message that matters most.

" (socket cannot be included in fdset)" perhaps? The actual fd limit very much has not been exceeded in most situations you'd get this error...

Well OK @luke-jr is right in that this is not "the" file descriptor limit, just the select file descriptor limit. Let's just name the beast as it is:
Cannot create connection: non-selectable socket created (>=FD_SETSIZE)

select() is also used in netbase, seems it would make sense to check there. Also, if connect() were to return an EINVAL for any reason, that could trigger this in netbase. Have you considered just printing the fd value? For language I'd go simple "invalid file descriptor %ud from netbase on connect".

Don' think it should double as "is this an error return value"

Updated. The test is now done also in netbase (causing simple failure, as netbase does not usually print error messages), and when creating a listen socket.

Needs backport to 0.11 and 0.10 (doesn't seem to involved, I'm willing to do that)

strprintf doesn't work without arguments (and is redundant)

This brings up a warning, as SOCKET is defined as unsigned int:

compat.h: In function ‘bool IsSelectableSocket(SOCKET)’:
compat.h:99:18: warning: comparison of unsigned expression >= 0 is always true [-Wtype-limits]
     return (s >= 0 && s < FD_SETSIZE);

@sipa are you planning to fix the warning or should we not hold this up on that?
