This way we can connect correctly to any AF_UNIX socket in the file system, and even save some code. Yay! This also adds some test code for this, that ensures read_file_full() works correctly for AF_UNIX sockets that violate the 108 char limit. Supporting sockets like this kinda matters I think, for the simple reason that apps want to build socket paths via XDG_RUNTIME_DIR and suchlike, and we should be able to connect to them, even via non-normalized paths.
