Thank you for your contribution! It looks good, but may I add unit tests to this branch? |

Adds the ability of configuring a Unix Domain Socket as the HTTP transport layer, instead of traditional network-based TCP.
UDS is useful for gRPC-based IPC solutions, where all communication between clients and servers is happening on the same machine, or even in the same process. UDS avoids networking overhead and can be made secure by fine-grained filesystem permissions.
These changes were validated on a Linux-based system, with a Unity gRPC client talking to a tonic-based Rust gRPC server. UDS is only supported on Unix-based systems, I'm not sure what happens on Windows - let's see CI results.
I tried to document everything properly and list all known caveats. Please let me know if there are questions or any changes needed.
