Domenico Tortorella 43bddd205b BroadwayServer support for unix socket listening
At the present time broadway listens only for TCP/IP incoming
display connections. This patch implements the support for listening
on unix domain sockets too, adding the broadway_server_on_unix_socket_new()
constructor and the commandline option --unixsocket [path] to broadwayd.

<para>
<command>broadwayd</command> is a display server for the Broadway
GDK backend. It allows multiple GTK+ applications to display their
windows in the same web browser, by connecting to broadwayd.
</para>
<para>
When using broadwayd, specify the display number to use, prefixed
with a colon, similar to X. The default display number is 1.
<programlisting>
broadwayd :5
</programlisting>
Then point your web browser at <literal>http://127.0.0.1:8084</literal>.
Start your applications like this:
<programlisting>
BROADWAY_DISPLAY=:5 gtk3-demo
</programlisting>
You can add password protection for your session by creating a file in
<filename>$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/broadway.passwd</filename> or <filename>$HOME/.config/broadway.passwd</filename>
with a crypt(3) style password hash.
A simple way to generate it is with openssl:
<programlisting>
openssl passwd -1 > ~/.config/broadway.passwd
</programlisting>
