Add support for the abstract socket namespace under Linux.
Unlike normal unix sockets, the abstract namespace is not bound to the
filesystem. This has some notable advantages; /tmp need not exist, the
socket directory need not have magic permissions, etc. xtrans servers
will listen on both the normal and abstract socket endpoints; clients
will attempt to connect to the abstract socket before connecting to the
corresponding filesystem socket.
Based on a patch by Bill Crawford.
