Similarly to the previous commit, let's accept "socket" parameter in the connection URI. This change will allow us to use virt-ssh-helper instead of 'nc' in all cases (done in one of future commits). Please note, when the parameter is used it effectively disables automatic daemon spawning and an error is reported. But this is intentional - so that the helper behaves just like regular virConnectOpen() with different transport than ssh, e.g. unix. But this 'change' is acceptable - there's no way for users to make our remote code pass the argument to virt-ssh-helper, yet.
