Too many open files when benchmarking #178

Description

@unkcpz

I try to benchmark add to pack operations for different size of file with following benchmark tests. However, it fails with "too many open files" OSError:

The test is:

from disk_objectstore import CompressMode, Container

@pytest.mark.parametrize(
    "compress_mode,nrepeat",
    [
        # 5 MiB, 5 KiB, 5 bytes
        (True, 5 * 1024 * 1024),
        (False, 5 * 1024 * 1024),
        (True, 5 * 1024),
        (False, 5 * 1024),
        (True, 5),
        (False, 5),
    ],
)
@pytest.mark.benchmark(group="write_10_packs", min_rounds=2)
def test_packs_write_py(benchmark, tmp_path, compress_mode, nrepeat):
    """Add 10 objects to the container in packed form, and benchmark write and read speed."""
    with Container(tmp_path) as cnt:
        cnt.init_container()
        num_files = 10
        data_content = [("8bytes0" * nrepeat).encode("ascii") for _ in range(num_files)]
        expected_hashkeys = [
            hashlib.sha256(content).hexdigest() for content in data_content
        ]

        hashkeys = benchmark(
            cnt.add_objects_to_pack, data_content, compress=compress_mode
        )

        assert len(hashkeys) == len(data_content)
        assert expected_hashkeys == hashkeys

Here is the failed traceback, it seems disk-objectstore will leave some symlinks that pytest tries to clean up:
