RFC: first attempt at Unix domain sockets as backends

[Geoff Simmons]

Hello again,

As with the listen addresses yesterday: this commit on a fork of
Varnish is a first attempt to implement UDSen as the connect address
for backends:

https://github.com/slimhazard/varnish-cache/commit/3ac2202de88ca18c9bc0a3d3b095fff1a53aaed3

And there are notes in the Wiki about the concept and issues worth
attention:

https://github.com/slimhazard/varnish-cache/wiki/First-implementation-of-backends@UDS

The idea is to have some functional code as a basis for discussion.

Comments are welcome, for which I am pleased to attempt to bribe you
with a round of beer at the next dev meeting (assuming that we'll be
having a next dev meeting).


Thanks,
Geoff
