Problem Description

Starting multiple Kind clusters on Lima VMs created from the docker-rootful template causes control plane nodes to fail with EMFILE errors.

Increasing inotify limits per Kind's documentation resolves this.

The PR linked to this issue adds this change to the provision block for this template so that others don't run into this issue.
