File descriptor allocation is triggered by userspace, thus if the allocation fails it should fail gracefully instead of triggering an assertion failure. This commit fixes the "assertion buffer_set_capacity(b, new_len) == new_len failed in src/runtime/buffer.h: buffer_extend() on line 90; halt" error that happens if the application tries to open more files than the system can handle. vector_set(), extend_total() and buffer_extend() have been modified in order to return a boolean value indicating whether the operation was successful.
