    WIP: ci: Try reducing FD soft limit to fix valgrind tests
    
    They are [currently
    failing](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/jobs/2032874) with the
    error:
    ```

    ```
    
    I’m not really sure what that means, but `show-execution-environment.sh`
    says the FD soft limit is set to 524288 on the CI machine. That seems
    high; on my machine it’s only 1024 (and the valgrind tests pass). So
    let’s try 1024.
