Check Steem PR #3286 Unix socket support

[abitmore]

User Story https://github.com/steemit/steem/pull/3286, https://github.com/steemit/steem/pull/3205

This PR adds to steemd the ability to offer a unix-socket webserver (in addition to http and ws).

For some node operators, they will use nginx or jussi on their front ends, with a steemd node running on the same box. And since TCP over localhost is dumb, I ported in the ability to use unix-sockets.

Makes sense. Unix sockets should be faster than TCP.
