Produce a more useful error message for over-length Unix socket paths.

The length of a socket path name is constrained by the size of struct
sockaddr_un, and there's not a lot we can do about it since that is a
kernel API.  However, it would be a good thing if we produced an
intelligible error message when the user specifies a socket path that's too
long --- and getaddrinfo's standard API is too impoverished to do this in
the natural way.  So insert explicit tests at the places where we construct
a socket path name.  Now you'll get an error that makes sense and even
tells you what the limit is, rather than something generic like
"Non-recoverable failure in name resolution".

Per trouble report from Jeremy Drake and a fix idea from Andrew Dunstan.
