correct invocation of launchctl

When I executed `launchctl limit maxfiles 1024 2048` , my entire system would become unusable, as all of the sudden no process could use any file anymore, reporting that the max file limit was reached.
Only a hard reboot could fix the problem, which fortunately revealed that the configuration was not saved.

The change I made *should* remedy the issue, even though I didn't test it.
Therefore I hope you can revise the documentation to be sure nothing bad happens.

.. note::
As of 2.0 ansible uses a few more file handles to manage its forks, OS X has a very low setting so if you want to use 15 or more forks
you'll need to raise the ulimit, like so ``sudo launchctl limit maxfiles 1024 2048``. Or just any time you see a "Too many open files" error.
