rename environment varialbe SOCKET #41

The external envrionemnt varialbe SOCKET is renamed to MPVC_SOCKET. It allow to configure mpvc system wide and avoiding any conflict with similar named environment variable.

In my case I use $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/mpv.socket as my socket and want to use mpvctl from sxhkd so I was forced to specify the socket each time I wanted to add a new shortcut. Now I can set ~/.profile and forget about the socket location.
