#233: System-wide daemon prints a redundant error message

 Using 0.9.9 in system-wide mode, pulseaudio prints this error:

 {{{
 pulseaudio: main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_NICE, (31, 31)) failed: Operation not
 permitted
 }}}

 `set_all_rlimits()` is called after changing the user, so all the command
 can do now is set the limits lower than what they by default are. By
 default the user "pulse" hardly has any special privileges, so this is
 printed pretty much on every system-wide installation, I believe.

 On the other hand, if the command is executed before changing the user, I
 believe it won't have any effect (I haven't made any tests, this is how I
 understand the code). But at least it would get rid of the error
 message...
