gh-137044: Make resource.RLIM_INFINITY always positive (GH-137511)

It is now a positive integer larger larger than any limited resource value.
This simplifies comparison of the resource values.
Previously, it could be negative, such as -1 or -3, depending on platform.

Deprecation warning is emitted if the old negative value is passed.

The |pythoncapi_compat_project| can be used to get most of these new

* :data:`resource.RLIM_INFINITY` is now always positive.
Passing a negative integer value that corresponded to its old value
(such as ``-1`` or ``-3``, depending on platform) to
:func:`resource.setrlimit` and :func:`resource.prlimit` is now deprecated.
