[PATCH] Cygwin: allow opening an AF_LOCAL/AF_UNIX socket with O_PATH

[Ken Brown]

If that flag is not set, or if an attempt is made to open a different
type of socket, the errno is now EOPNOTSUPP instead of ENXIO.  This is
consistent with POSIX, starting with the 2016 edition.  Earlier
editions were silent on this issue.
