unsock: shim to automatically change AF_INET sockets to AF_UNIX, etc.

unsock is an LD_PRELOAD-able Linux library that converts AF_INET socket connections to AF_UNIX, AF_VSOCK, AF_TIPC, etc, helping reduce the dependency on TCP/UDP/IP for local communication. It even handles the painful "CONNECT" proxy dance on Firecracker AF_UNIX/AF_VSOCK multiplexing sockets for you.
