The current interface of |UnixSocketConnector| doesn't follow any design
and is not easily understandable.
This patch adds a new interface to the class. The new interface provides
a method for each of the following operations:
* converting an address to a human-readable string,
* creating a listening socket,
* creating a stream socket, and
* accepting a stream socket from a listening socket.
All arguments are stored in the connector class, so that connect and
listen methods of the socket classes don't require protocol-specific
arguments. All socket parameters are set within the connector class,
so each connector class can now select parameters individually.
