Deno: Support unix domain sockets

[teleclimber]

Now that UDP support has been added in #3946 I'm wondering if Unix Domain sockets could be added in the same way.

Unix sockets are very handy when you need to communicate with another process without dealing with ports and whatnot.

I suppose the only question is whether connecting to a UDS from Deno requires a net permission or a file permission. My hunch is that it is a file permission, simply because that is how it is thought of in the underlying OS.

Thanks.

Here is the API I propose

Deno.listen({ transport: "unix", address: "/var/run/mysocket" }): UnixConn

class UnixConn would be similar to UDPConn and Go's definition https://golang.org/pkg/net/#UnixConn

@hazae41 are you working on this? I would like to give this a try if you're not :)
