Michael Kerrisk 0cf2caa41e unix.7: Document the autobind feature

Michael Kerrisk 6ed236d51a unix.7: Fix description of "pathname" sockets 
As reported by Lennart Poettering:

   The part about "pathname" sockets suggests usage of
   sizeof(sa_family_t) + strlen(sun_path) + 1
   for calculating the sockaddr size. Due to alignment/padding
   this is probably not a good idea. Instead, one should use
   offsetof(struct sockaddr_un, sun_path) + strlen() + 1
   or something like that.

See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19812

Michael Kerrisk 156a0e0d7e unix.7: Fix description of abstract socket names 
As reported by Lennart Poettering:

    The part about "abstract" sockets is misleading as it suggests
    that the sockaddr returned by getsockname() would necessarily
    have the size of sizeof(struct sockaddr), which however is not
    the case: getsockname() returns exactly the sockaddr size that
    was passed in on bind(). In particular, two sockets that are
    bound to the same sockaddr but different sizes are completely
    independent.

See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19812
