What is changed, added or deleted? (Required)

This PR updates the Chinese TiUP no-sudo documentation to clarify how resource limits take effect for the per-user systemd manager.

  • Clarify that /etc/security/limits.conf might be applied through PAM when user@<UID>.service starts, but the effective Max open files value still depends on the limits obtained by the user manager itself.
  • Add a verification step to check the effective Max open files value of the running user@${uid}.service.
  • Add a documented fallback: if the effective value is still too low, configure a system-level drop-in for user@${uid}.service with LimitNOFILE=1000000.
  • Explain that restarting user@${uid}.service stops all user services managed by that user, so existing clusters should be stopped first or handled in a maintenance window.

Hi @doc-claw-bot. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a pingcap member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.
