In my opinion, the Linux-specific abstract UNIX domain socket feature
introduced in 5.1 should have been rejected.  The feature is niche,
the interface clumsy, the implementation buggy and incomplete, and the
test coverage insufficient.  Review fail.

Fixing the parts we can still fix now is regrettably expensive.  If I
had the power to decide, I'd unceremoniously revert the feature,
compatibility to 5.1 be damned.  But I don't, so here we go.

I'm not sure this set of fixes is complete.  However, I already spent
too much time on this, so out it goes.  Lightly tested.

v2:
* PATCH 03: Have unix_server_thread_func(), unix_client_thread_func()
  store their parameter in a variable in the hope of communicating its
  type more clearly [Daniel].  No lasting effect, as the former goes
  away in PATCH 5, and the latter is rewritten in PATCH 6.
* PATCH 05: Fix commit message typo [Eric]
* PATCH 07: Improve commit message [Paolo]
* PATCH 08: Fix computation of @tight [Paolo, Eric], and copying of
  @sun_path [Eric]
* PATCH 11: Tweak QAPI schema [Eric], less ugly ifdeffery [Eric],
  fix logic error in use of new saddr_is_tight().

Markus Armbruster (11):
  test-util-sockets: Plug file descriptor leak
  test-util-sockets: Correct to set has_abstract, has_tight
  test-util-sockets: Clean up SocketAddress construction
  test-util-sockets: Factor out test_socket_unix_abstract_one()
  test-util-sockets: Synchronize properly, don't sleep(1)
  test-util-sockets: Test the complete abstract socket matrix
  sockets: Fix default of UnixSocketAddress member @tight
  sockets: Fix socket_sockaddr_to_address_unix() for abstract sockets
  char-socket: Fix qemu_chr_socket_address() for abstract sockets
  sockets: Bypass "replace empty @path" for abstract unix sockets
  sockets: Make abstract UnixSocketAddress depend on CONFIG_LINUX
