SUSv4 defines SEM_VALUE_MAX to be in limits.h.  That's where we
have it in Cygwin, too.  There's also the definition of SEM_VALUE_MAX
for RTEMS in libc/sys/rtems/include/limits.h.

It seems defining it additionally in semaphore.h is not quite correct.
It also contradicts the value from your limits.h (32767).
