[PATCH 06/10] wayland-server: reject socket paths longer than 108 bytes

Attempting to write anything longer into the embedded char
array would create a non-null-terminated string, and all
later reads would run off the end into invalid memory.

This is a hard limitation of AF_LOCAL/AF_UNIX sockets.
