Support for the unix socket has existed both in BSD and Linux for the longest time, but not on Windows. Since Windows 10 build 17063 [1], the native support for the unix socket has came to Windows. Starting this build, two Win32 processes can use the AF_UNIX address family over Winsock API to communicate with each other.
Introduce a new build time config option CONFIG_AF_UNIX when the build host has such a capability, and a run-time check afunix_available() for Windows host in the QEMU sockets util codes.
