Please move this into socket_accept() so qtest_init() doesn't need to
know about setsockopt() details.  It should just get an fd or -errno
return value from socket_accept()...

...then you can ensure that we unlink the sockets even on failure.

And then something like g_assert(s->fd >= 0 && s->qmp_fd >= 0) would be
fine.  The process can abort() at this point.
