Subject: [PATCH v5 5/9] ipc: Clamp semmni to the real IPCMNI limit

For SysV semaphores, the semmni value is the last part of the 4-element
sem number array. To make semmni behave in a similar way to msgmni
and shmmni, we can't directly use the _minmax handler. Instead,
a special sem specific handler is added to check the last argument
to make sure that it is clamped to the [0, IPCMNI] range and prints
a warning message once when an out-of-range value is being written.
This does require duplicating some of the code in the _minmax handlers.
