IPC socket could support setting ownership #1802

We do this in mangos -- there are options for the socket owner and group.

For parity we should do it here as well. (I was surprised to find that apparently I missed this. Note that chown is going to have to be a best effort operation - because it usually requires root that we frequently won't have. That might be why I declined to add it in the first place.

This is necessarily only a UNIX / POSIX thing.
