Windows: Local named pipe implementation
Currently in the case of command line arguments punix/unix, on Windows
we create a file, write a TCP port number to connect. This is a security
concern.
This patch adds support for the command line arguments punix/unix trying
to mimic AF_UNIX behind a local named pipe.
This patch drops the TCP socket implementation behind command line
arguments punix/unix and switches to the local named pipe implementation.
Since we do not write anything to the file created by the punix/unix
arguments, switch tests to plain file existence.
Man pages and code comments have been updated.
