bpo-678264/gh-37883: Fix test_resource failures with file size limits

This fixes the long-standing issue where test_resource would fail
on systems with file size limitations. The solution includes:

- ResourceLimitHelper class for safe limit manipulation
- Dynamic test sizing based on available resources
- Conditional test skipping with clear messages
- Comprehensive error handling for various platforms

Tests now adapt to system constraints rather than failing.

Fixes #37883
