Is it the same (indirectly) SEM_VALUE_MAX?

#define SEM_VALUE_MAX   (~0U)

It's located in <sys/semaphore.h>.

I think we should go for LONG_MAX:
1. We will be able to return it via sysconf(3)
2. It's still large enough
3. Change SEM_VALUE_MAX to LONG_MAX to retain the same corresponding size.

Also we perhaps should add a dynamic value of SEM_VALUE_MAX for
sysconf(3) and maybe another value for the longest valid path name size
(lately it was around 15 characters).
