Migrate from using port to use named pipes or socketfile #218

The v1 protocol that we have today works over TCP port, with a higher quantity of services to be run by the Elastic Agent this will not scale easily and can cause conflict for already used port.

We should migrate our connection strategy to:

Named pipe under Windows
Sockerfile for macOS and Linux
