Update max-client-connections's description

On modern systems other than Windows Privoxy should
use poll() in which case the FD_SETSIZE value isn't
releveant.

     One most POSIX-compliant systems &my-app; can't properly deal with

+    When using select() this limit therefore can't be increased without

+    is running on Windows with _WIN32 defined.
