Linux has an "abstract sockets" feature, these don't appear in the
filesystem. Which means we don't have to figure out how to delete them
again.

On BSD etc. dbus can leave socket files around if the bus doesn't exit
cleanly, and it's necessary to run dbus-cleanup-sockets. ORBit does the
same thing.
