hw/9pfs: Add support to use named socket for proxy FS
Add option to use named socket for communicating between proxy helper
and qemu proxy FS. Access to socket can be given by using command line
options -u and -g. We can achive the same using a shell script over
qemu and virtfs-proxy-helper using exec fd<><socket-path>, and then
passing that fd as argument to qemu and virtfs-proxy-helper. Also having
a server like virtfs-proxy-helper listening on a pathname without any
authentication is little bit scary. So we have to decide whether this
patch is really needed.
