Darwin's read/write syscalls emit EINVAL only when nbyte > INT_MAX. The case nbyte == INT_MAX is valid, so the subtraction (- 1) in

const READ_LIMIT: usize = if cfg!(target_vendor = "apple") {
    libc::c_int::MAX as usize - 1 // <- HERE
} else {
    libc::ssize_t::MAX as usize
};

can be removed.

I tested that the case nbyte == INT_MAX is valid on various versions of macOS, including old one like Mac OS X 10.5.

The man page says:

std/sys/fd: Relax `READ_LIMIT` on Darwin

Darwin's `read`/`write` syscalls emit `EINVAL` only when `nbyte > INT_MAX`. The case `nbyte == INT_MAX` is valid, so the subtraction (`- 1`) in
```rust
const READ_LIMIT: usize = if cfg!(target_vendor = "apple") {
    libc::c_int::MAX as usize - 1 // <- HERE
} else {
    libc::ssize_t::MAX as usize
};
```
can be removed.

I tested that the case `nbyte == INT_MAX` is valid on various versions of macOS, including old one like Mac OS X 10.5.

The man page says:
- read() and pread() will fail if the parameter nbyte exceeds INT_MAX (link: https://keith.github.io/xcode-man-pages/read.2.html)
- write() and pwrite() will fail if the parameter nbyte exceeds INT_MAX (link: https://keith.github.io/xcode-man-pages/write.2.html)
