[RFC PATCH] tests/unit: cleanups for test-io-channel-command

[Alex Bennée]

This test is hanging under heavy load when the two socats race while
trying to create the socket. I've tried various approaches to avoid
the race but it seems "creat=0" won't stop socat trying to create a
pipe if it executes first. In the end I just use a small sleep which
seems to be reliable enough on the load situations I've tried.

While I was there I also properly created a tmpdir for the socket to
live in which is cleaned up at the end of the test.
