[cheroot==8.1.0 regression] Spin on Linux when socket filedescriptor is too big for select

See original GitHub issue

Once the filedescriptor for a socket used by cherrypy has a value greater than 1024 a thread goes in to a loop just writing blocks like the following to stderr:

[22/Nov/2019:11:55:07] ENGINE Error in HTTPServer.tick
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/cheroot/server.py", line 1770, in serve
    self.tick()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/cheroot/server.py", line 1993, in tick
    conn = self.connections.get_conn(self.socket)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/cheroot/connections.py", line 142, in get_conn
    rlist, _, _ = select.select(list(socket_dict), [], [], 0.1)
ValueError: filedescriptor out of range in select()

This does not happen with cheroot versions prior to 8.1.0
