 With #11485, Andrea did a cool syntax for AF_UNIX hidden-service address
 targets.

 Why didn't all the other FooPort options think of that?

 We shouldn't have a separate option for Unix vs IP address as in:
 {{{
 SocksPort 127.0.0.1:9050
 SocksSocket /home/nickm/.tor/connect-to-this
 }}}

 Instead why not just have it be:
 {{{
 SocksPort 127.0.0.1:9050
 SocksPort socket:/home/nickm/.tor/connect-to-this
 }}}
