sheepdog: add support for connecting to unix domain socket
This patch adds support for a unix domain socket for a connection between qemu and local sheepdog server. You can use the unix domain socket with the following syntax: $ qemu sheepdog+unix:///<vdiname>?socket=<socket path>[#snapid] Signed-off-by: MORITA Kazutaka <morita.kazutaka@lab.ntt.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>

If the Sheepdog daemon doesn't run on the local host, you need to
specify one of the Sheepdog servers to connect to.
