Jeff Hostetler 77e522caae unix-socket: disallow chdir() when creating unix domain sockets ...

Calls to `chdir()` are dangerous in a multi-threaded context.  If
`unix_stream_listen()` or `unix_stream_connect()` is given a socket
pathname that is too long to fit in a `sockaddr_un` structure, it will
`chdir()` to the parent directory of the requested socket pathname,
create the socket using a relative pathname, and then `chdir()` back.
This is not thread-safe.

Teach `unix_sockaddr_init()` to not allow calls to `chdir()` when this
flag is set.
